Methoxychlor is a contact and stomach insecticide effective against a wide range of pests encountered in agriculture, households, and ornamental plantings. It was registered for use on fruits, vegetables, forage crops and on shade trees. Methoxychlor was also registered for veterinary use as a poison to kill parasites on dairy and beef cattle. Exposure to methoxychlor may occur during its manufacture or use as a pesticide. In an acute oral study in animals, changes in the liver were reported. Dermal contact with methoxychlor is slightly irritating to the skin. The use of methoxychlor as a pesticide was banned in the United States in 2003 and in the European Union in 2002.
