Insect killers

The simplest way to employ these natural insect-killers would be to treat crops directly with infected nematodes, since they can be raised, stored, and spread relatively cheaply. In fact, this idea was first tested in 1932, long before there was any idea how the nematodes destroyed their hosts. The worms showed considerable promise in these early trials, but the project ultimately collapsed with the advent of the Second World War and the subsequent introduction of synthetic pesticides. In more recent field tests, infected worms have scored up to 100 percent pest mortality in a few days. 

At room temperature, 1,4-dichlorobenzene is a white solid with a strong odor that you would probably recognize as the smell of mothballs. When a package of 1,4-di chlorobenzene is opened, it slowly changes from a solid into a vapor and is released into the atmosphere. The released vapor acts as a deodorizer and insect killer. Most of the 1,4-di chlorobenzene that is released to the general environment is present as a vapor. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene can burn, but does not burn easily. Most people begin to smell 1,4-di chlorobenzene when it is present in the air at a concentration of 0.18 parts per million (ppm) and in water at a concentration of 0.011 ppm. 

Lead is not the only silent killer among the BCNO elements. Arsenic, antimony, and thallium compounds have all been used as weed and insect killers and rat poisons. These elements can also poison the soil and water, so they are used more carefully and in smaller amounts than they were in the past century. All of these elements have also been used as slow murder weapons. They cause such ordinary problems—such as an upset stomach—that it can be... 

Some halogen compounds have been too reactive for the health of people and the planet. They can destroy healthy cells and attack the Earths atmosphere in the same active way that they kill germs or break down wood into paper. For instance, chlorofluorocarbon (or CFC) compounds used to be popular cooling chemicals in refrigerators and air conditioners and in the gas that pushed hairspray and deodorant out of aerosol cans. CFCs are now widely banned because they destroy Earths atmosphere. Chlorine is also part of the insect killer DDT, a dry cleaning fluid, and the compounds called PCBs. All of these products are now banned or used rarely because they have been linked to pollution and health problems like cancer and liver disease.

In addition to the targeted market where PBO synergized products have already established a leadership role, multipurpose products are under development that can be applied directly to pels and vegetable gardens, and which are also effective flying insect killers for outdoor use. 

An Environmental Working Group study utilised detailed government data on food consumption patterns and pesticide residues to conduct the first comprehensive analysis of the toxic dose that infants and children receive when the entire organophosphate family of insect killers is assessed in combinations, and at levels, that actually occur in the food supply. Based on the most recent government data available on children s eating patterns, pesticides in food, and the toxicity of organophosphate insecticides, the EWG estimated that ... 

Chlorine is one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals in the United States. Its most important use is as a bleach in the manufacture of paper and cloth, but it is also used to make pesticides (insect killers), rubber, and solvents. 

The compound 1,4-dichlorobenzene (CAS 106-46-7) is most commonly referred to as para-DCB or p-DCB. It is widely used as a moth killer, in space deodorizers, and in the production of polyphenylene sulfide. It is also used in the manufacture of certain resins, in the pharmaceutical industry, and as a general insecticide in farming. Synonyms for 1,4-dichlorobenzene are 1,4-dichlor-B benzene, 1,4-dichloro benzene, p-dichloro dichlorobenzene, para, solid p-chlorophenyl chloride p-DCB p-dichlorobenzene p-dichlorbenzol parazene PDB para-DCB paradichlorobenzene and paradichlorobenzol. At room temperature, 1,4-dichlorobenzene is a white or colorless crystalline solid with a characteristic penetrating odor. When exposed to air, it is slowly transformed from its solid state into a vapor the released vapor then acts as a deodorizer and insect killer. It is practically insoluble in water and is soluble in alcohol, acetone, ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, and benzene. Its chemical formula is C6H4CI2.
