'''Dimefox''', also known as '''TL-792''' or '''T-2002''', is a highly toxic organophosphate insecticide. In its pure form it is a colourless liquid with a fishy odour.<ref name=IAI>{{Cite web |url=http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/iupac/236.htm |title=IUPAC FOOTPRINT Pesticides Properties Database |access-date=2011-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722134430/http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/iupac/236.htm |archive-date=2011-07-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Dimefox was first produced in 1940 by the group of Gerhard Schrader in Germany. It was historically used as a pesticide, but has been deemed obsolete or discontinued for use by the World Health Organization. It is not guaranteed that all commercial use of this compound ceased, but in most countries{{Which|date=November 2022}} it is no longer registered for use as a pesticide.<ref name=WHO>the WHO recommended classification of pesticides by hazard and guidelines to classification 2009, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101214120923/http://www.who.int/ipcs/publications/pesticides_hazard_2009.pdf]</ref> It is considered an extremely hazardous substance as defined by the United States Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
