If you’re trying to grow or maintain a lush, green lawn or the perfect garden, there are enemies to contend with. For example, invasive plants, insects, and critters tend to love your yard as much (if not more) than you do, and they’re quite diligent in their efforts to take up residence on your property.

A pesticide can help you manage some of these problems. Pesticides contain active ingredients, which may be conventional, antimicrobial, or biopesticides. They also contain inert or inactive ingredients, which can make them easier or safer to apply, extend shelf life, etc.
