Malathion is still made & used. It has a 7 to 14 day half life. .... I don't think Diazinon is made any longer (????). If it is, it is listed for approved uses (AG & other) and not for public/consumer over the counter sale. .... Diazinon was a great house roach spray in the 70s (Rid-a-Bug) and lasted for more than a year. .... Malathion works great on fireants .... my yard is clear of them.
