Banned Pesticides

Technically, these pesticides fall into the restricted-use category.  However, all uses of pesticides in this group have been cancelled according to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 

You won't find these pesticides in recently produced home products, but they may be present in the home if you have old products or products manufactured for commercial use. 

Chlordane, DDT, ethyl dibromide (EDB), 2,4,5-T and silvex are common examples of banned pesticides. 

In particular, check old dandelion and weed killer products for banned 2,4,5-T and silvex ingredients.
