An '''insecticide''' was a type of [[pesticide]], or [[poison]], specifically against [[insect]]s.


One insecticide was [[DN6]], which was created by [[Forester (Planet of Giants)|Forester]], who was also concerned about its effects and impact on the environment, including being deadly to bees, if it went into production. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of Giants (TV story)|Planet of Giants]]'')

In the [[1970s]], an improperly mixed pesticide spray caused insects to grow to giant sizes and start rampaging across the countryside. The [[Third Doctor]] discovered a formula which returned the insects to their normal size, ending the threat. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Insect (comic story)|Insect]]'')
 
In [[2172]], a pesticide called [[GK50]] was used on [[wasp]]s. In an alternative timeline, the [[Dalek]]s which had succumbed to the [[Mutant Phase]] were killed on [[Earth]] by consuming traces of this pesticide. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase]]'')
