What is the common practice regarding the use of methyl chloride among applicators?

The common practice regarding the use of methyl chloride among applicators is that most of them would not use it due to safety concerns and regulatory restrictions. Methyl chloride is known to pose significant health risks, including being a potential carcinogen and having harmful effects on the central nervous system. This has led to a decline in its usage in pest control practices. Many applicators prefer to use safer, less hazardous alternatives that comply with current regulations and provide effective pest management without the risks associated with methyl chloride. Consequently, it is not widely employed by professionals in the field, reflecting a growing emphasis on safety and environmental considerations in pest management strategies.
