I have a bunch of diesel sitting around (long story) and I was wondering that if I poured it on... say, rotting wood, would it kill any bugs that might be munching on it? Would it kill plants or permanently poison the dirt? Could it spontaneously combust if left alone (in said wood)?
Nope, motor oil as a yard treatment is usually frowned upon. But I'm sure diesel or kerosene is as well.

I've seen a hornet nest killed with used motor oil. Probably not EPA approved but diesel should do the trick.
