Dieldrin

Does anyone know what the chemical Dieldrin was used for? I found a full quart bottle in the back of my garage, left by the previous owner, but the reverse side of the label is faded and partially missing so I cannot read what insects it kills and what the dosage rate would be. All I could find online is that Dieldrin was banned and hasn't been available on shelves for many years. Does anyone have an old gardening book that might give a clue to its use? Will it still be effective after sitting for so many years? My neighbor thinks it was used at one time to spray around the foundation of the house to keep insects from trying to get in.
