Carbaryl (Sevin)
Carbaryl (Sevin) is a relatively safe, carbamate insecticide. It is highly toxic to bees and should not be used near bloom. When applied 2 to 3 weeks after bloom, carbaryl acts as a fruit thinner on many varieties. Mite populations usually build up rapidly following carbaryl applications because of its toxicity to mite predators. Thus, it is not recommended for most applications where mites are a threat.
