Pesticides kill insects and other crop-eating vermin. Farmers often spray them on their plants to avoid their fruits, vegetables, or decorative flowers being killed and therefore inedible, and in flowers' case, not attractive.

The control of insect populations is the reason for the use of insecticides. The suffix '-cide' refers to killing. The term may refer to sprays that are chemical, home made, or organic. The more powerful insecticides have the capability of almost totally eliminating an insect population from a specified area. The less powerful may require several appliations before the desired effects become obvious.

The control of indoor and outdoor pests is the intended use of pesticides.

Specifically, the -icide ending indicates the cessation of life. Some pesticide applicators intend to exterminate every one of a perceived pest. But others will follow treatment schedules which bring the pest down to manageable numbers whereby the nuisance no longer threatens a person's livelihood -- or a plant's survival -- in the case of edible crops and garden plants.

How they are applied depends on the formulation. Dusts are applied lightly with a duster of some type, baits with a bait gun as needed, granules with a spreader to treat a yard, etc.
