sevin

Garden pest killer

Sevin is a brand name for carbaryl, a widely used insecticide.

Gardeners and farmers apply it to control pests on vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants: I dusted the tomatoes with Sevin to kill the aphids.

It's effective against a broad range of insects but toxic to bees and aquatic life.
