Insecticides are substances used to kill insects. They include ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively. Insecticides are used in agriculture, medicine, industry and by consumers.
Insecticides are classified into four groups:
- Organic insecticides.
- Synthetic insecticides.
- Inorganic insecticides.
- Miscellaneous compounds.

Chemicals used for destroying harmful insects are called Insecticides . Examples => DDT,BHC etc . They are used as as insecticides
Pesticides are chemicals that may be used to kill fungus, bacteria, insects, plant disease, etc. These chemicals work by ingestion or touch and death may occur immediately or over a long period of time. An insecticide is used to specifically target and kill insects.
Insecticides to control insects. Insect Growth Regulators to disrupt the growth and reproduction of insects. Rodenticides to kills rodents like mice, rats, and gophers. Wood Preservatives to make wood resistant to insects, fungus and other pests.
Insecticides can also be classified by their mechanism of action. Organochlorine compounds work on insects by opening what's known as the sodium ion channel in the neurons or nerve cells of insects, causing them to fire spontaneously. The insect will go into spasms and eventually die.
Natural insecticides contain chemical, mineral, and biological materials and some products are available commercially, e.g., pyrethrum, neem, spinosad, rotenone, abamectin, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), garlic, cinnamon, pepper, and essential oil products.

Pesticides should not be used on any ornamental plants or plants that will be eaten. If the product is meant for outdoor use only, do not use it indoors. Remember that most pesticides only control certain stages of the pest. Be sure you're treating the correct one, such as eggs, larvae, or adults.
Insecticides can be classified into two major groups: systemic insecticides, which have residual or long term activity; and contact insecticides, which have no residual activity. The mode of action describes how the pesticide kills or inactivates a pest. It provides another way of classifying insecticides.
