No, the active ingredient carbaryl in pesticides does not control pesty aphid populations on cucurbits.

Specifically, the term cucurbits includes cantaloupe, cucumber, pumpkin, squash and watermelon. Carbaryl is ineffective when these edible plants are overrun by aphids. Instead, an effective choice is permethrin, which requires a three-day wait between last application and harvest.

Which type of spray kills bagworms?

Sprays with the active ingredients of acephate, carbaryl, or permethrin kill bagworms [Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis]. A spray with the active ingredient malathion kills too. But such a powerful chemical control needn't be considered in most cases.Reluctance likewise may be shown regarding the use of carbaryl. It's the active ingredient in 'Sevin'. It controls bagworms, but at the price of encouraging mites.Whichever the control chosen, timely use of the product is important. The most effective treatment times are late May to mid June. That's because the bags are less than a half inch long, and vulnerable to the active ingredients.Otherwise, Bacillus thuringiensis is an effective control. But once again, timing is everything. The best time range is mid to late June, when the larvae are still young.Additionally, handpicking may be the control, from August to May. The bags should be bagged and burned. Otherwise, they and their eggs will over winter, and hatch in late May.

What pesticide controls the asparagus beetle?

The active ingredient carbaryl in a pesticide controls the asparagus beetle.Specifically, it may be applied as a wettable powder or as a dust. Either way, it is used on the spears during harvest. There needs to be a three-day wait between applications. But there is just a one-day wait between application and harvest.Carbaryl is an effective control. One problem in its use is its high toxicity for area bee populations. As a dust, it may drift and stick onto the pollen of nearby plants in bloom. Consequently, it is brought into the hive, where the pollen that the carbaryl dust contaminates may be the cause of high fatality rates among the hive's inhabitants.
