Carbaryl

Carbaryl has been around for a long time. It is the third most used insecticide in the US and is sold under the trade name Sevin. It is an acetyl colanase inhibitor so it disrupts the nervous system if the insect. Insects can absorb or ingest the insecticide so it is very effective on chewing insects who ingest it. Some insects have developed a resistance to carbaryl. Be careful when you use it because it is non-selective and will kill most insects including beneficials like bees. Research and use alternatives that are more targeted to the pest you have.
