2. Carbaryl - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbaryl

   Carbaryl kills both targeted (e.g., malaria-carrying mosquitos) and beneficial insects (e.g., honeybees), as well as crustaceans. [8] Because it is highly toxic to zooplankton, the algae they feed on experience blooms. Boone & Bridges 2003 find that larger algae eaters such as Bufo woodhousii benefit from this effect. [9]

   Sevin, (b) Sevin XLR Carbamate: High risk to bees foraging even 10 hours after spraying; 3 – 7 days (b) 8 hours @ 1.5 lb/acre (1681 g/Ha) or less. Bees poisoned with carbaryl can take 2–3 days to die, appearing inactive as if cold. Sevin should never be sprayed on flowering crops, especially if bees are active and the crop requires pollination.

4. Bifenthrin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifenthrin

   There are two types of pyrethroids: those with and without α-cyanogroup. The neurotoxicity of bifenthrin is based on the affinity to the voltage-gated sodium channels (in insects as well as mammals). The pyrethroids with an α-cyanogroup block the sodium-channel permanently, causing the membrane to be permanently hyperpolarized.

   Insecticides are pesticides used to kill insects. [1] They include ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively.
