What is another word for fumigants?
Pronunciation: [fjˈuːmɪɡənts] (IPA) 
Fumigants are chemicals designed to kill pests and pathogens including insects, rodents, and fungi. But, sometimes, it is important to find alternatives to these toxic substances. Synonyms for fumigants can include biopesticides, sterilants, fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides. These alternative pest control methods utilize natural substances, such as essential oils and plant extracts, or mechanical control methods like trapping and vacuuming. While less potent than fumigants, many of these methods can be just as effective without the potential health risks to humans, animals, and the environment. It is important to find safe, effective, and sustainable options for pest management to reduce the need for harmful chemicals like fumigants.
