What is the definition of "Selective pesticide" in the context of pest control?

A pest control product that has no effect on any pests
A pest control product that is only used indoors
A pest control product that is toxic to some pests but has little to no effect on other animals or similar species
A pest control product that must be applied continuously

The correct answer is: A pest control product that is toxic to some pests but has little to no effect on other animals or similar species

In the context of pest control, a selective pesticide refers to a pest control product that is toxic to specific pests but has little to no effect on other animals or similar species. This type of pesticide is designed to target and control specific pest populations while minimizing harm to non-target organisms such as beneficial insects, animals, and the environment. Selective pesticides are considered more environmentally friendly and sustainable compared to broad-spectrum pesticides that can affect a wide range of organisms.
