If you know the name a search on the web will tell you the active ingredient. That's hard to answer without knowing which one you are referring to. There are many different active ingredients currently in use.

Pesticides may also be broken down into many different categories:

  • Algicides or algaecides for the control of algae
  • Avicides for the control of birds
  • Bactericides for the control of bacteria
  • Fungicides for the control of fungi and oomycetes is a very bad
  • Herbicides (e.g. glyphosate) for the control of weeds
  • Insecticides (e.g. organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids) for the control of insects - these can be ovicides (substances that kill eggs), larvicides (substances that kill larvae) or adulticides (substances that kill adults)
  • Miticides or acaricides for the control of mites
  • Molluscicides for the control of slugs and snails
  • Nematicides for the control of nematodes
  • Rodenticides for the control of rodents
  • Virucides for the control of viruses
