DefinitionsThe terms “insecticide” and “pesticide” are sometimes used interchangeably, which is incorrect and can be confusing to users. Insecticides are just one type of pesticide, specifically for insects. Pesticides are used to manage, repel and, if necessary, kill a range of pests, including insects, as well as mites, fungi, weeds, slugs and snails, rodents and nematodes.

The proper terms for these types of pesticides comprise 'miticides' and 'acaricides,' which are used to control mites and ticks; 'fungicides,' for preventing mildew, mold and fungal rot disease; 'herbicides,' to kill weeds and unwanted or invasive plant life; 'rodenticides,' for mice, rats, bats and other rodents; 'nematicides,' to control soil nematodes; and 'molluscicides,' for attracting and killing snails and slugs. Different FormulationsInsecticides and pesticides come in different formulations, which determine how they are used and their efficacy against certain pests. For example, most insecticides are effective at controlling insects in the larval, or caterpillar, state of development. In addition, herbicides can be 'targeted,' which means they will kill only specific unwanted plants, or 'broad spectrum,' which means they will kill any and all plants they come in contact with. Others, like most fungicides, are effective only as a preventative treatment and cannot be used to control or kill a pest once established.

Chemical, Organic and Toxicity DifferencesDifferences exist among all pesticides, including insecticides, regarding how they are derived and the end-product's toxicity level. “Chemical,” “synthetic” and “conventional” are terms used to refer to pesticides that have been chemically manufactured, whereas “organic” pesticides are products that are made only from naturally occurring substances. “Low-impact,” “natural” and “green” labels on pesticides do not ensure that a product is organic, and organic pesticides are not necessary low-toxic or safer than synthetic ones.

To help guide consumers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency devised a four-level warning system required on all insecticides and other pesticides to alert users of the product risk. In order of increasing toxicity and more serious harm potential, they are “caution,” “warning,” “danger” and “poison.”. Care With UseBefore using any insecticide or pesticide, consider whether it is really needed. For example, some problems with garden insects can be managed by handpicking and do not require insecticide use. If insecticide or pesticide use is warranted, confirm on the label that the product is effective at controlling your particular pest.

Also, insecticides used to control insect infestations on ornamental plants cannot be used on vegetables or fruit, especially close to harvest. In addition, some pesticides, such as broad-spectrum herbicides, cannot be applied near gardens or flower beds because they will damage or kill every plant they come in contact with.
