ABSTRACT
This review contains a brief history of the use of insecticides. The peculiarities, main advantages, and disadvantages of
some modern insecticides are described. The names of the discoverers of some of the most popular insecticide preparations on the
world market, are listed. The tendencies to find new insecticides to control the quantity of phytophagous insects are discussed. Special attention is paid to the perspective of creating preparations based on nucleic acids, in particular DNA insecticides. The use of
insect-specific, short single-stranded DNA fragments as DNA insecticides, is paving the way in the field of “intellectual” insecticides
that “think” before they act. It is worth noting, though, that in the near future, the quantity of produced insecticides will increase due
to the challenges associated with food production for a rapidly growing population. It is concluded, that an agreeable interaction of
scientists and manufacturers of insecticides should lead to the selection of the most optimal solutions for insect pest control, which
would be safe, affordable, and effective at the same time.
