So for someone with "connections" to get their hands on
Temik or cyanide or whatever is not going to be that difficult.
Field evaluation of
Temik against some insects and mites attacking citrus.
Bayer CropScience (BCS) is closing its manufacturing facilities dedicated to carbamate chemistries (active ingredient in
Temik and Sevin and some intermediate materials associated with them) in Institute, WV, and is shutting down its Woodbine, GA, formulation facility.
When ripened bitter goured and chopped mango stones was used with 1080,
temik, warfarin and endrin 19.5%, 100%, 85.7% and 38.88% mortality was acheived (Arshad et al., 1988).
These chemicals were traced to three pesticides UCIL manufactured -- Carbaryl ( brand name Sevin), Aldicarb (

At Shafter, cotton was planted on similar dates, but
Temik 15G [Union Carbide Corp., Houston, TX; 2-methyl-2-(methylthio) propionaldehyde-O-(methylcarbomoyl)oxime] and Digon 400 EC [Wilber-Ellis, Fresno, CA; dimethoate: O, O-dimethyl S-(N-methylcarbamoyl) methyl phosphorodithioate] were applied in the beginning and middle of June to control insects.
Aldicarb is marketed under the trade name
Temik by chemical giants Bayer CropScience.
"One of the chemicals widely used in greenhouses for flowers is
Temik [aldicarb], and that has caused serious problems." Methyl bromide--an ozone-destroyer and a Category I acute toxin, among the most dangerous toxic substances known--is also heavily used in Latin America and the U.S.
In addition, we applied 3-5 pellets of
Temik as needed for aphid control.
Costa Rica suspended use of aldicarb (
Temik), a Dirty Dozen pesticide, in June 1991 after the U.S.
Although most of the poisons used, such as
Temik (the trade name for aldicarb), are legally available for licensed agricultural uses, they are so deadly that they often kill vultures and foxes that feed on the carcasses of animals killed by the poisoned bait.
