Answer:

Pollution.

People applying them are exposed to toxic chemicals. People who live nearby can be exposed too with wind blowing them around.

With rain or just watering of plants, the pesticides 'run off' and end up in water supplies, rivers, lakes, and eventually oceans.

Also, organisms can mutate and make pesticides useless.
