What is Insecticide?
[[File:New Holland TL 90 and field sprayer 1.jpg|thumb|Plants being treated with insecticide]] An '''insecticide''' is a [[pesticide]] made to kill [[insect]]s and [[spider]]s. Insects are very tough [[animal]]s that have adapted to live and various climates and places. Therefore, the [[poison]] used to kill them is also poisonous to [[human]]s. It can be dangerous when you have [[vegetables]]. This is why often people will rub an [[apple]] on cloth before eating it. This polishes the natural wax on apple and rubs away some of the pesticides. If you do not clean the clothing there is a risk [[pesticide]] might build up. {{Insecticides}} {{Anti-arthropod medications}} {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Insecticides| ]]
