Insecticides applied to plants can enter insects primarily through ingestion and contact. When insects feed on treated plant tissues, they consume the insecticide along with the plant material. Additionally, if the insect comes into contact with the surface of the plant, the insecticide can penetrate through the cuticle, entering the insect's body. This dual mode of entry enhances the effectiveness of insecticides in controlling pest populations.

They only kill the insect after it has eaten it. http://www.lakejemfarms.com/blog/posts/herbicides-and-pesticides-what-to-use.html
