I prefer using surfactants as pesticides where it is also used or as part of a

OK, I'm confused and I'd like straightened out.
A surfactant is a pesticide? Would someone explain the difference between a spreader-sticker and a surfactant. Sometimes I read of using a detergent as a surfactant. My local Growers Coop advised using common vegetable oil as a surfactant. Detergent and oil are about as opposite as can be, aren't they?
Help this dummy out.
