Il est possible de distinguer quatre modes d'action des produits insecticides : une action de contact, une action après ingestion, une action après inhalation et une action déshydratante. [...] Les insecticides d'inhalation pénètrent à l'intérieur des insectes sous forme gazeuse, par les voies respiratoires, et agissent notamment sur le système nerveux central. Ces produits sont surtout employés pour la désinsectisation de locaux et pour la désinfection du sol. Ils sont souvent utilisés par fumigation. 5, record 1, French, - insecticide%20d%27inhalation
