When you read the information for Reactivity, there are many aspects against Dichlorvos (Vapona) from the conservation side. e.g. it bleaches color, corrodes metals, damages paint surfaces and so on. Some more Reference Espeland et al (2010) Dichlorvos exposure impedes extraction and amplification of DNA from insects in museum collections.
