Pesticides are substances used to repel, kill, or control animals (insecticides) or plants (herbicides) that are considered to be pests. There are different types of pesticides, which include synthetic pesticides and biopesticides (Figure 1). Pesticides are used extensively in agriculture and they are also used at a lower scale in our homes and on ourselves.
A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest. (Source: EPA) Pesticides often refer to the type of pest they control, e.g. insecticides kill insects and other arthropods; miticides or acaricides kill spider mites. All pesticides are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
