Information About:
Pesticides
Pesticides are used to kill or control unwanted organisms. Pesticides include
- Insecticides: Ant killer, flea collars, roach spray
- Herbicides: Crabgrass, dandelion and weed killers
- Rodenticides: Rodent poison, mole bait
- Fungicides: Fruit sprays
Some pesticides are banned from use and others – “restricted use pesticides” – can be used only by certified applicators.
Herbicides may be combined with fertilizer in “weed and feed” garden products. If a fertilizer contains a pesticide, manage and dispose of the product as a pesticide. Do not put it in the garbage.
