The tot is a pest (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slug

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the tot' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pest' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for slug that I've seen before include "Heavy blow for snail lacking shell" , "Slimy pest" , "ammunition?" , "Projectile fired from a gun" , "draught" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
