Unfortunately, it wouldn't. Agriculture (of any sort) is reliant on creating a false equilibrium, this means that even the staunchest vegan is invloved to some dgree in pest control as the crops they consume could not exist without it. I understand that this involvement is implicit but it still exists.
Then there is also the pest control that seeks to encourage indigenous wildlife by controlling introduced species such as rabbit, mink, grey squirrel, carp, rainbow trout etc.
