In the [[1970s]], an improperly mixed pesticide spray caused insects to grow to giant sizes and start rampaging across the countryside.

In [[2172]], a pesticide called [[GK50]] was used on [[wasp]]s. In an alternative timeline, the [[Dalek]]s which had succumbed to the [[Mutant Phase]] were killed on [[Earth]] by consuming traces of this pesticide. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase]]'') | |||
