Pesticide Ingredients
Active Ingredient(s) + Other/Inert Ingredient(s) = Pesticide Product |
Pesticide products include both active ingredients and other ingredients. Active ingredients are used to kill, control or repel the pest. Other ingredients may do a variety of jobs, like attracting the pest, spreading the active ingredients around, and/or reducing drift.
In order to know the risk associated with a pesticide, both toxicity and exposure must be considered. The toxicity depends on the ingredient(s), and this page is your gateway to a world of information about specific ingredients.
