Science - Zoology / Patent regarding new insecticide

Spanish term or phrase: insectos plaga

Does anyone have a firm translation into English of this term? I have seen pests, infestations, and insect outbreaks. I would like to get some good feedback for a term in English for this context.
Here is the context:

Las toxinas Cry de Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) son muy valiosas por su capacidad de controlar insectos plaga de diferentes cultivos, de bosques e insectos que transmiten enfermedades en humanos.

Thanks in advance.
