Type Action

Algicides Control algae in lakes, canals, swimming pools, water tanks, and other sites

Antifouling agents Kill or repel organisms that attach to underwater surfaces, such as boat bottoms

Antimicrobials Kill microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses)

Attractants Attract pests (for example, to lure an insect or rodent to a trap). (However, food is not considered a pesticide when used as an attractant.)

Biopesticides Biopesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals

Biocides Kill microorganisms

Disinfectants and sanitizers Kill or inactivate disease-producing microorganisms on inanimate objects

Fungicides Kill fungi (including blights, mildews, molds, and rusts)

Fumigants Produce gas or vapor intended to destroy pests in buildings or soil

Herbicides Kill weeds and other plants that grow where they are not wanted

Insecticides Kill insects and other arthropods

Miticides Kill mites that feed on plants and animals

Microbial pesticides Microorganisms that kill, inhibit, or out compete pests, including insects or other microorganisms

Molluscicides Kill snails and slugs

Nematicides Kill nematodes (microscopic, worm-like organisms that feed on plant roots)

Ovicides Kill eggs of insects and mites

Pheromones Biochemicals used to disrupt the mating behavior of insects

Repellents Repel pests, including insects (such as mosquitoes) and birds

Rodenticides Control mice and other rodents

Further types

The term pesticide also include these substances:

Defoliants: Cause leaves or other foliage to drop from a plant, usually to facilitate harvest.

Desiccants: Promote drying of living tissues, such as unwanted plant tops.

Insect growth regulators: Disrupt the molting, maturity from pupal stage to adult, or other life processes of insects.

Plant growth regulators: Substances (excluding fertilizers or other plant nutrients) that alter the expected growth, flowering, or reproduction rate of plants.

Wood preservatives: They are used to make wood resistant to insects, fungus, and other pests.
