Pesticides are sometimes called "BIOCIDES" because of their effects on living things.
biocides are used in paint to make sure the safety of the surface (like wood), from micro-organisms, on which it has to be apply.

Biocides are any chemical that 'kills' living organic matter. 'Bleach' is a biocide.
Rachel Carson called pesticides such as DDT "biocides" because they are chemicals that kill a wide range of living organisms, not just the targeted pests. This term emphasizes their broad toxicity and potential harm to various forms of life in the environment.

Biological resistance refers to the body's natural ability to repel attacks by biotic agents such as pathogens or toxins. It could also mean the genetic ability to survive lethal doses of biocides.
