Gasoline is not an environmentally sound
solution. In addition to the obvious fire hazard, you are putting
hydrocarbons into the environment which do not degrade very fast. They
can get into the water table, and if they evaporate they are air
pollution. Some of the molecules in gasoline are also carcinogens.
You are much better to use a registered pesticide
according to the label directions. Today's registered pesticides do
degrade in the environment. They are screened for toxicity. The
long term toxicity and possible harm to animals etc. is checked. And
very importantly, you are using much less toxic material to accomplish the
same job.
