You don't need pesticides for healthy, sustainably-grown plants.
If insects ate healthy plants, there would be no life on this planet. They are designed by God to only kill and eat plants that do not have proper nutrition and need to be recycled into the ground.
This is why for example a mealy, wrinkled apple with a boron deficiency is likely to have insect activity, and why boron in its crystalline state- like the sodium salt borax or boric acid are such excellent insecticides despite being wonderful nutritional supplements for humans. Boron is essential for building rigid cell walls in plants, and why mealy apples are not enjoyable to eat. Look at your contact solution, it has borax (sodium borate) and boric acid in there. Every animal study looking at the effects of boron supplementation uses borax because it's cheap, half as toxic as table salt, and it works very well for quickly reversing boron deficiency.
Fertilizer does not necessarily mean the soil is healthy! A thriving bacterial and fungal microbiome is essential, as is normal insect activity. If insects are eating your plants, you should not be eating them yet. If animals are eating them, they are probably good to eat.
Food plants need more than just NPK 13/13/13 fertilizer. Boron is one element, and there are many more that contribute to vitalizing particular foods!

Slugs ruined all my plants, they were very well taken care of and fertilized
