Antimicrobial: A drug used to treat a microbial infection. Antimicrobial is a general term that refers to a group of drugs that includes antibiotics, antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antivirals.
As pesticides, antimicrobial products are used on objects such as countertops, toys, grocery carts, and hospital equipment. As antiseptics, antimicrobial products are used to treat or prevent diseases on people, pets, and other living things. If a product shows EPA anywhere on the label, you know it's a pesticide and NOT meant for use on the body. This fact sheet will focus on antimicrobials used as pesticides.
