There are some of you out there who have some chemicals hanging around your property that are dangerous. Some of them might be on the restricted use list.
One of these chemicals are on that list is because when applied, they may never go away. That means they will never breakdown. Some of them are carcinogens. They may also be unstable in the environment. In other words, most of them are extremely dangerous and should be properly disposed of.
There is a website that will give you an extensive list of those which are on the 2003 Federally Registered Restricted Use Pesticides list, including chemicals which have been dropped from the list because their products have been cancelled. Just because they have been cancelled does not mean that you don't have them at your property. We have clients who have stored these chemicals for years before they were cancelled and a few have recently used Chlordane. Not a good idea!
The restricted use website is: entweb.clemson.edu/pesticide/Document/FedRUP.htm To access this site you can just copy this address and paste it in your browser.
