Active ingredient
The active ingredient (a.i.) is the material in the
pesticide formulation that actually destroys the target pest or performs
the desired function. Pesticide labels are required by law to show the
active ingredient and its percentage.
Other or inert ingredients
Inert ingredients are all materials in the pesticide
formulation other than the active ingredient. These ingredients do not
work to control the pest, but help dissolve the active ingredient,
improve or enhance pesticidal activity. Some inert ingredients may be
toxic or hazardous to humans.

Signal
words
The signal words "CAUTION," "WARNING," and "DANGER"
(in order of increasing toxicity) indicate the relative acute toxicity,
or short-term effects, of the active ingredients to humans. They do not
refer to long-term effects to humans nor do they indicate the effect on
aquatic invertebrates.
Trade names
The trade name is any brand name that is used
exclusively by one manufacturer for a product containing the pesticide
chemical. There may be several trade names for a single product, thus
making it confusing. Do not rely on brand names to identify pesticides.
- An example trade name for bifenthrin (a pyrethroid) is Ortho® Bug-B-Gon®
Max®.
- Glyphosate is sold under many trade names such as Roundup®,
Eliminator®, and Ortho®.
