What is a Pesticide?

Below is a link to a website created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The site contains information on what the agency does and does not consider a pesticide from the standpoint of public policy. It also lists some common types of pesticides and their uses. There is also a link to the US EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, which contains even more information useful to the general public.
