Pests include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, spread disease or are vectors for disease or cause nuisance.
Pesticides are categorized into four main substituent chemicals: herbicides; fungicides; insecticides and bactericides.
