Description
A carbamate compound used as a general purpose Insecticide. Carbaryl was introduced by Union Carbide in 1958 in the U.S. and was commonly sold under the name Sevin (trademarked by Bayer), It is a contact insecticide that works as a reverse cholinesterase inhibitor. It is stable to light and heat and may provide residual effectiveness for up to 4 months. Product information indicates the formulation contain solvents that may stain some materials such as rugs, drapes, and fabrics. The use of carbaryl is restricted in the U.S. The Sevin trademark has since been acquired by GardenTech, which has eliminated carbaryl from most Sevin formulations.
