What is a botanical insecticide?
Do you mean biological insecticide or botanical insecticide? the terms are close, but they describe two different things.

A biological insecticide (also called biological control) is where a insect, fungus or virus is bred and released into the wild (or onto a target species) in order to kill the other species. In most cases the bred control species is a natural predator of the pest insect. A good example of this is breeding Ladybirds and releasing them into the garden, the adult as well as the larval stage predate on aphids and mealy bugs.
