Pesticide poisoning dermal

Encapsulated dia2innon sold as Knox-Out 2FM is a commercial encapsulated pesticide formulation said to have reduced dermal and oral toxicity as well as prolonged effectiveness. The capsules, prepared by interfacial polymeri2ation, are claimed to be highly effective against cockroaches with no objectionable odor and low insect repeUence. The capsules are beheved to function as a contact poison when insects walk on it and as a stomach poison when insects preen capsules stuck to their legs and ingest them (71).
