Bendiocarb belongs to a kind of carbamate insecticide. It can be used in homes, industrial plants and food storage sites for the treatment of various kinds of insects including mosquitoes, flies, wasps, ants, fleas, cockroaches, spider, silverfish, ticks and other pests in homes, industrial plants, and food storage sites. In agriculture, it is used for the treatment of a variety of insects such as beetles, aphids, mites and caterpillars. Bendiocarb can block the activity of some enzymes necessary for the normal nerve transmission, further affecting the normal operation of the insects’ nervous system. It can kill the pests through either contact or ingestion. However, its applications have been cancelled in some countries including the United States due to its toxicity effects on Human beings and other animals including birds and fishes.
