Definitions of Pesticides a. A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest; or any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant. b. Pesticides are used in many ways and include: acaricides, avicides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, molluscicides, nematocides, rodenticides, among others. c. Fumigants are also pesticides and may function as any of the above depending upon the type of formulation, means of application, mode of action, target area, and pest species. 8-9. Department of Defense Standards a. DOD components' pest management programs conform to the following requirements. Controlled pesticides are for use only by trained pesticide applicators and under the onsite supervision of a DOD certified applicator, or by specially trained site or shipboard medical department personnel. U.S. EPA restricted use pesticides may be procured and used only by certified pesticide applicators or by persons under their direct supervision. b. Restricted and non-restricted use pesticides are procured through the military supply system. Where restricted or nonrestricted use items do not provide satisfactory control, or when there is any doubt that available personnel are qualified to supervise the 9 Nov 2004 application of any pesticide, medical officers should request the help of specialists. Entomologists of the medical department and applied biologists of NAVFAC will provide services necessary to survey pest problems, outline control programs, train, and certify local personnel. c. Nonstandard pesticides and dispersal equipment must not be used unless approved by the appropriate area entomologist following current instructions. 8-10. Classifications of Pesticides Pesticides may be classified on the basis of use, life stage of the pest to be controlled, chemical group, mode of entry, mode of action, and formulation. Some pesticides are not easily categorized by standard methods because they can be used against two or more groups of pests or in formulations that may have two or more modes of entry or action. a. Pesticide Type by Use (1) Acaricide. Substance used to control mites, scorpions, spiders, ticks, and related organisms. (2) Fungicide. Substance used to control fungi. (3) Herbicide. Substance used to control undesired vegetation. (4) Insecticide. Substance used to control insects, sometimes used in a broader sense to include the control of arthropods other 8-7
