This might show a mechanism for the loss of sensitivity

Hello, Dr Muhammad Musa Khan

This is a extensive discussion.

It depends on how the Essential oil enters the body of the insect?

This is mean, Has the Essential oil been injected into the body of the insect or is it Topical available to the insect? Or has it entered the insect's body as fumigation?

When an insecticide is injected into an insect. The insect has a limited ability to resistance with the insecticide and so it shows signs of toxication. If the same high concentration is placed topically on the insect's body, it penetrates slowly, and the insect detoxification system can resistance it by keeping the insecticide concentration under lethal level.

The Best Regards

Muhammad Musa Khan

essential oils is a complex of different chemical compounds which can be integrated via HPLC. these compounds are volatile so the mode of entry is through respiratory organs or chemiaosensilla.

Mark Inwood thank you for this help i got some points from this to support my point of view

I have a lot of experience with the effects of essential oils on insects, But u just can't use essential oil by fumigation. There are many bioassays for the effect of essential oils on insects.

Good luck

The best regards
