Pesticides aren't used to kill weeds.

Herbicides are useful, they certainly help prevent invasive weed species from taking over native plants and grasses. I'm Kentucky I'm always fighting Johnson grass, thistle and Japanese knotweed in my bluegrass

Pesticide is a catch-all term that encompasses herbicides, insecticides, fungicides etc.
