Pesticides:

Any substance or mixture of substances, including plant regulators, defoliants, desiccants and spray adjuvants, intended to prevent, destroy, control, repel, or mitigate any insect, rodent, snail, slug, fungus, weed, and any other form of plant or animal or virus, except viruses on or in a living person or other animal.

Home and Garden Pesticides:

Those pesticides that are labeled only for use in and around residential property. They do not carry industrial or agricultural use instructions. In contrast to those pesticides with industrial or agricultural use instructions, home and garden products generally have a lower percentage of active ingredient, are contained within smaller packages and can be found at garden centers that cater to homeowners.
