Description:

Aldrin and dieldrin are insecticides (products that kill insects) that are very similar. They are also called pesticides because they kill insects that are pests, such as termites. Pure aldrin and dieldrin are white powders with a mild chemical odor. They are not found naturally in the environment. Aldrin quickly breaks down to dieldrin in the body and also in the environment.

Aldrin and dieldrin were widely used as pesticides for crops like corn, cotton, and citrus fruit from the 1950s until 1970. They were also used to control termites until 1989. These chemicals have not been manufactured or approved for used since 1990.
