Looking at the NYS pesticide database, I see some products from the 80s and 90s had chlorpyrifos, which also has a short half-life.

I can not find any information about active ingredients they were using in the 80's. If you call them tell them who you are and where you are from and why you want to know they will probably get back to you with an answer. I have done that with companies before and they have been very helpful. There will also probably be a petrol base in there as well. JTV Joel Voron Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Conservation Dept.
