Anybody still have any Chlordane? I miss that stuff. Bought a quart jar

[BullochDawg]

Right before they made it illegal. Enough to last a lifetime. Just a little bit would go a long way.
Left it in a tool shed when I moved years ago. Went back to ask the guy if I could get it back. He said it wasn't in there. BasTURD!

 

[Dawg4sure]

No but I think I have some diazinon left...yellow jackets fear me **

[Ty TyDawg]

I don't know a single soul that has any. Where you stay now?

If I were looking for it, I would try and ad in the market bulletin or call the county agent in GA at least.

 

[LandSalesDawg]

Do you huff it?*

My neighbor is an old county extension agent. Has some of that stuff in ..

his garage. I haven't seen the first bug on his property.

 

[BullochDawg]

Back in Statesboro now. Had it when I lived on Wilmington Island.

Treated my yard when we built there. Never had to worry about termites, roaches, fleas etc.
Think it had like a 25yr effective life.
Never looked into getting more

 

[BullochDawg]

Me and Mr Chesney used to hack it in the back wood shop.**

Shoooooooot!

 

[BullochDawg]

Remember being po'd that that was the strongest stuff you could get**

This is what Wiki says about it but I swear you would never take another pill if you watch commercials and hear the disclaimers:


Exposure to chlordane metabolites may be associated with [17]
[20]
The non-cancer health effects of chlordane compounds, which include diabetes, insulin resistance, migraines, respiratory infections, immune-system activation, anxiety, depression, blurry vision, confusion, intractable seizures as well as permanent neurological damage,[25]

 

[BullochDawg]

Well, that sure explains a lot. D,JD**

I had a gallon of it when we built down here in '82. I applied it...

just the one time full-strength around our foundation (both inside and out). Never have had a problem with termites, spiders or bugs.

 

[Eastmandawg]

believe that used that shat in VIetnam*

[Ty TyDawg]

LOL, riding bikes must cause cancer as well***

[ZosoDawg]

Think it has a half life of 30 years. Might be time for another round**

Good stuffs imo**

Chlordane was bad chit but it worked. The only real hazard...

from it was to people who worked in the application of it. If the dumbarse pesticide applicators would have worn some protection we would still have it around. Once buried in a trench around the house, nobody was coming into contact with 'cept the T-mites

 

[maconwhoopeedawg]

Well, there you go. I've often wondered if I've caused a lot of...

my problems.

 

[Ty TyDawg]

The same as mine...genetics***

[maconwhoopeedawg]

Maybe genetics with the ticker, however, I'm the only one in the family...

to have cancer.

 

[Ty TyDawg]

Same as DDT, bunch of people died of malaria as a result of it

being banned. I used to use clorodane all the time and I have had some health problems but I still think they are genetic.

 

[Ty TyDawg]

Think you may mean agent orange***

Re: Maybe genetics with the ticker, however, I'm the only one in the family...

I've often wondered about the genetics of Parkinson's. My wife's mother had it and SV is concerned. There are so many combination and rolls of the dice in genetics, nothing is very predictable.

 

[Eastmandawg]

May be thinking of the Gulf War....


I remember reading it somewhere or hearing it talked about.

Chlordane

 

[maconwhoopeedawg]

Re: Maybe genetics with the ticker, however, I'm the only one in the family...

Well, I hope SV never gets diagnosed with it. Other than myself, no one in my family has ever been diagnosed with Parkinson's, though my oldest brother (now deceased) displayed some symptoms.

 

[Ty TyDawg]

Way less likely but could have come fro great-great-gparenas a recessive

waiting on the right combination. College genetics was fascinating to me, I was just too dumb to get a lot of it.

 

[maconwhoopeedawg]

It is fascinating, but over my head as well.*

disagree on DDT....hawks and eagles would be gone now if DDT were still in

use

 

[Ty TyDawg]

Makes sense, bugs not foliage***

[Ty TyDawg]

And about 5 million people wouldn't have died with insect borne diseases***

[deadduckdawg]

yeah, I got about an inch left in a gallon jug. Try to get some Termidor..

It's about as useful as Chlordane. I ordered two pints off an internet site a couple years ago. About 80 bucks a pint I think.

 

[Booneville Dawg]

Chlordane and Lindane were good stuff. The half life of Chlordane in soil..

was shown to be 3.3 to 20+ years. I went of one of our experiment stations in Florida in the early 90s as part of a hazmat team to inspect some Chlordane test plots they had; we checked some areas that had been sprayed 40+ years ago and it smelled like it was sprayed yesterday. It may have had some carcinogenic side effects but it was by far the best insecticide ever for termites and the same can be said for Lindane for fire ants.

 

[Karl_Childers]

i don't notice much of a shortage of people ***
