Pesticide formulations that form a gas upon application are known as fumigants. Fumigants are specifically designed to vaporize and disperse into the air, allowing them to penetrate spaces and effectively control pests such as insects, rodents, and pathogens. Their gaseous state enables them to reach areas that may be difficult to access with solid or liquid formulations, making them highly effective for applications such as soil treatment and enclosed environments.

Aerosols are typically pressurized products that release a fine mist or spray, but they do not necessarily form a gas upon application in the same way that fumigants do. Fungicides are a type of pesticide specifically aimed at controlling fungal diseases and do not convert into gas. Flowables are pesticide formulations that mix easily with water but are not characterized by the ability to produce gases when applied. Thus, fumigants are uniquely recognized for their ability to vaporize and create a gas that effectively targets pests.
