Hello, the purpose of spermicide is in the vagina - it stops the sperm swimming towards the egg. It doesn't destroy the sperm as such. Just stops it's swimming mechanism. So it can be applied in vagina or spermicidal condoms can be used.
The cons are: continuous usage can cause irritation in the vagina of the female. Also, it does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
That's why condoms are considered safer option.

Spermicides are not always successful, plus they have side effects...
I suggest to use a condom, more success rate and without any side effects.
