I do believe that one would find this information in a thesaurus. I doubt that it would include all of the examples cited, but it's not difficult to substitute each word for the other.

I use bleach to rid myself of pests. Hazmat knowledge also is a very useful thing.

Pests are a nuisance. If they weren't, then they wouldn't be pests!

 Now I don't know if I would agree with you there gott. For example the Genuka Horse Fly, when there are swarms of them yes you could say they are pests and a nuisance, however, when they are young maggots, you can put them on dead rotting decaying flesh, and they will clean up the wound nicely!...;-) Do you get mi drift?

Of course, by definition a pest is a nuisance. Who could disagree?

To me the worldwide biggest pest of all is the mosquito.

 Aye Grenache, I must agree with you on that one, them and wasps! Good to have a gardening debate for a change Matey! You know the difference between a mosquito and one of those blond insects don't you? The mosquito stops sucking when you slap it~...;-)

 A good day to you fougeray old bean, and how has life been treating you? Good to hear that you and your good lady wife are keen gardeners, sounds like you are a big fan of the passion flower like me!....;-) Snails are a bit of a nuisance, but they are so slow to catch on!....;-)

They say the old guys of the gardening world never die, they just go to pot, well I guess there is just sum old American guy who has taken to gardening in a big way in and around London. He is definitely a big believer in spreading plenty of manure, from his smoking compost heap. He is one gardener who has been doing it mainly in the potting shed, with great results. He reckons the top ten pests are weevils, Aphids, Lily beetles, pets and other animals, and birds. I'll have to agree with him, by saying old American gardeners in London never die they just go to pot!...;-)

 Pests - an annoying or troublesome person, animal, or thing; nuisance.

I can't see how I could disagree.

I guess it's natural that you would consider birds a pest, since you obviously don't communicate with them very well. Tell me is that where this pent up aggression comes from, your complete lack of physical contact with the birds? Hint: Your mom doesn't count.
