A pesticide is any substance used to kill, repel or control certain forms of plant or animal life that are considered or said to be “pests”. Some pesticides can be extremely toxic and could have a very negative effect on humans. There are two types of pesticides. Firstly, biological pesticides are things such as fungi and bacteria that are already present in our cycle and can be used to our advantage. Secondly, chemical pesticides are human made, chemically developed substances that are made in a plant or factory by large companies.
