The short answer is no. These are insecticides. But many insecticides like DDT create dioxin(2,3,7,8TCDD) when burned. Dioxin is the byproducy of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T or the one half of AO, the other being 2,4-D.

That being said these insecticides are very toxic and have problems of their own. These are nothing other than chemical weapons called pesticides.
