The trend now is to allow only insecticides that biodegrade...rapidly break down after use. In some cases, the rules makers have gone too far, IMHO. Termite control, for example...when doing a subsoil application around a home foundation to kill and prevent termites? You betcher Donkey...most would want the chemical to be persistant and long lasting. Hugh has a point...there is a history of overuse and misuse.
But to remove these tools from humanity is a mistake...
