Pesticides are chemicals used to eliminate or control a variety of agricultural pests that can damage crops and livestock and reduce farm productivity. The most commonly applied pesticides are insecticides (to kill insects), herbicides (to kill weeds), rodenticides (to kill rodents), and fungicides (to control fungi, mold, and mildew).
A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest.

All pesticides are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
