A university.
> and where is the line for where it's considered cruel or not?
I don't know. I never needed ethical committee approval and was never part of it and never asked this particular question.

I'd bet the same about the ethical committee members.
> do you not believe in pest control?
Sure I do believe!
About pest control... well, I don't really care that much about roaches; but I'd do really care if they were, for example, dogs. So, the fact that I don't care that much doesn't means it is not ethically questionable.
If anyone has a good simple idea to develop pesticides which minimize suffering, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
