I have some DDT that my father purchased and carefully stored for years. I tried it out on some bugs at my country property a couple of years ago.

It had zero effect. I guess I could have drowned a couple of bugs in the solution, but that's the only way it was going to be deadly. It had lost all its potency.

The funny thing is that I thought I recalled that the main reason for banning it domestically was that it didn't break down.
