Fluorine-Containing Insecticides

  • Chapter

Part of the Handbuch der experimentellen Pharmakologie / Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology book series (HDBEP,volume 20)

Abstract

Fluorine has played a significant role in insect control since about 1896 when sodium fluoride and various iron fluorides were patented in England as insecticides. Sodium fluoride was used in the United States for cockroach control before 1900 and was introduced in 1915 for the control of poultry lice. However, the use of fluorine insecticides did not become general until the 1930’s when the disadvantages of arsenical residues on food crops became apparent and the inorganic fluorine compounds were introduced as safer substitutes.
