OBS

Water gardens.

Les atomiseurs, aussi appelés générateurs d'aérosols, dispersent les produits chimiques sous forme d'un fin brouillard entraîné par l'air. On les utilise pour la lutte contre les moustiques et les mouches dans les grands bâtiments, dans les parcs ou autres endroits semblables. On ne s'en sert généralement pas à la ferme.
