What are the advantages of weed killers?
Kills weeds, obviously. Most herbicides that are sold to gardeners are non-specific herbicides--in other words, the chemical solution in the jug or bottle will kill any plant that comes in contact to the chemical, no matter if it's a plant you don't consider a weed or not. It also means that it doesn't target specific types of plants (like broad-leaved plants and/or grasses), but a wide variety.
How herbicides work depends on what type you are using. There are two different types; contact herbicides and systemic herbicides, both kill plants in the same basic way they either stop the plant from "breathing" or "eating". Contact ones hit the plant and kill whatever is growing above ground and systemic herbicides get sucked in by the plant, travel down to the roots and kill the plant from there.

Of course. Most weed control products are "selective" which means they kill weeds and not grass. The labels should read...it does not kill grass but will kill everything else.

It is considered as the latest method in dealing with termites. It is also actually used by most exterminators whenever they are in action and doing their jobs. In this method, you will be using a bait that would contains a specific chemical which will be ingested by the termites and be taken to their colony.

The use of the liquid type of pesticides is applied to the ground within the perimeter of the building or the house.

No, a soap and water spray does not control stink bugs.
Stink bugs also may be called shield bugs. Specifically, a hardened outer set of wings covers the lighter wings that are used for the bugs' brief, clumsy flights. The homemade soap-and-water spray and the store-bought insecticidal soap may be effective controls of soft-bodied pests, but cannot penetrate the bugs' outer body.
Vacuuming up stink bug bodies and burning or immediately disposing the sealed vacuum bag are among the organic controls inside the house.
