The role of oxygen in the toxicity of fumigants to insects

Journal of Stored Products Research, 1967
Abstract The toxicity of fumigants to insects is dependent on two distinct processes (1) uptake of the fumigant and (2) toxication. Both of these processes may be influenced by the ambient oxygen tension. The importance of oxygen is indicated or inferred in many reports in the extensive literature that has accumulated in fumigation research ...

Control of Insects with Fumigants at Low Temperatures: Toxicity of Fumigants in Atmospheres of Carbon Dioxide

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1978
The toxicity of fumigants to insects in atmospheres of CO2 was found to vary considerably with different fumigants and with different species of insects. Of 5 fumigants, acrylonitrile, methyl bromide, a mixture of acrylonitrile and methyl bromide, phosphine, and hydrogen cyanide, the toxicities of acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile—methyl bromide mixture ...

Fumigation toxicity of volatile natural and synthetic cyanohydrins to stored‐product pests and activity as soil fumigants

Pest Management Science, 2004
Abstract Insecticidal fumigation toxicity of natural and synthetic cyanohydrins was evaluated with four stored‐product pests: the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F), the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst, the saw ...

The Toxicity of Various Fumigants to the Cadelle, Tenebroides mauritanicus1

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1961
The toxicity of 13 fumigants to Tenebroides mauritanicus (L.) (Coleoptera: Ostomidae) has been determined and the results have been compared with data on Sitophilus granarius (L) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin duVal. Most of the fumigants were less toxic to the cadelle than they were to the other species.

THE ACTION OF FUMIGANTS ON INSECTS: IV. THE EFFECTS OF OXYGEN ON THE TOXICITY OF FUMIGANTS TO INSECTS

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, 1963
Oxygen at and below 1 atmosphere pressure was found to enhance the toxicity of seven different fumigants to two species of insects. Although oxygen produced no obvious effects on untreated insects, it enhanced the effect of the poisons within the first 24–30 hours after treatment.

Fumigant Toxicity of Essential Oils to the German Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2010
The fumigant toxicity of 12 essential oil components [carvacrol, 1,8-cineole, trans-cinnamaldehyde, citronellic acid, eugenol, geraniol, S-(-)-limonene, (-)-linalool, (-)-menthone, (+)-alpha-pinene, (-)-beta-pinene, and thymol] to adult male, adult female, gravid female, and large, medium, and small nymphs of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica ...

Fumigant toxicity of monoterpenes against fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster

Industrial Crops and Products, 2016
Abstract Monoterpenes are the major components of essential oils from many aromatic plants, partly contributed to the insecticidal properties of essential oils. In this study, the fumigation activity of 40 pure monoterpenes against fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, were evaluated.

The Toxicity of some common Fumigants to Body Lice

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1943
An outbreak of body lice might require several control measures according to circumstances. Two types of fumigant action have been investigated in the laboratory and the field :—(1) House fumigation for disinfesting typhus-contaminated premises.Lice were fairly similar to bed-bugs in their resistance to the fumigants tested.

Fumigation toxicity of monoterpenoids to several stored product insects

Journal of Stored Products Research, 2003
Abstract Twenty naturally occurring monoterpenoids were evaluated in a preliminary fumigation screening test on some important stored-product pest insects, including the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae , the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum , the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis , the house fly, Musca domestica , and the ...
