Over the past 20 years in kalifornia, the gubmint has regulated and outlawed nearly everything that could be deemed harmful to anything else. people, the environment, insects, etc. They've toned down or eliminated all the bad stuff.
Most insect spray is not much more than baking soda.

Except when it comes to fire ants.

You can still buy industrial strength poison for fire ants off the shelf, the real stuff that is nasty!
Reminds me of the good one days.
