The History
We created pesticides because there was a great need for them in the farming industry. Farmers in the first place needed them do to insects and various small organisms getting into there crops and ruining them. But these organisms eventually developed a resistance and they did it pretty quickly in fact some did it in only one generation.

Reproduction Reproduction is essential to the survival of the pesticide resistant insects because if they couldn't pass down the mutation that allowed them to survive they would die off. | Survival of The Fittest The other insects that were not resistant to the pesticide died because they weren't fit to survive in that environment but there offspring adapted and were able to have that resistance making them fit to survive. | Competition This was not a problem considering there was no competition between any other animals it was competition between the farmers and there pesticide. But eventually the insects won this part of Natural Selection by being able to adapt so quickly. |

Survival of The Fittest
The other insects that were not resistant to the pesticide died because they weren't fit to survive in that environment but there offspring adapted and were able to have that resistance making them fit to survive.
Competition
This was not a problem considering there was no competition between any other animals it was competition between the farmers and there pesticide. But eventually the insects won this part of Natural Selection by being able to adapt so quickly.
Pesticide resistant Insects
This trait is rapidly spreading due to the the quick adaptation of these organisms and because they reproduce so quickly. I believe that farmers will eventually start making chemically different pesticides allowing them to combat these resistant insects.
