Pesticide: A substance used to kill, control, repel,
or mitigate any pest. Insecticides,
fungicides, rodenticides,
herbicides, and germicides are all pesticides.
Environmental Protection Agency regulates
pesticides under authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition, under FIFRA, a
substance used as a plant regulator,
defoliant, or desiccant is
defined as a pesticide and regulated accordingly. All pesticides must be
registered and carry a label approved by EPA.
