Those taken to destroy pests? (5)
I believe the answer is:
steps
'those taken' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'destroy pests?' is the wordplay.
'destroy' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'pests' anagrammed gives 'STEPS'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steps that I've seen before include "Buchan's 1915 novel has 39 of them" , "taken to get on" , "dancing?" , "Small ladder" , "Procedures" .)
