Beschreibung
Methiocarb was originally developed by Bayer as an
insecticide. The bird-repellent properties of the compound
were quickly recognized, however, and a number of
applications for bird damage management followed (42).
Methiocarb is a secondary repellent, and repellency
occurs through aversive conditioning, by which birds
that feed on treated food become sick and associate
either the food or characteristics of the food with the
discomfort (21). As a result, affected birds learn to avoid
that food item. Often the avoidance response is locationdependent.
For example, common ravens (Corvus corax)
that learn not to eat eggs at one site will still feed on
eggs at a different location (43).
Chemische Eigenschaften
Methiocarb is a colorless crystalline powder.
Verwenden
Insecticide; molluscicide; bird repellent.
Definition
ChEBI: A carbamate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the phenolic group of 3,5-dimethyl-4-(methylsulfanyl)phenol with the carboxy group of methylcarbamic acid.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
White crystalline powder with a mild odor. Used as an insecticide and immobilizing agent for birds, acaricide and molluscicide.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Mercaptodimethur is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
Health Hazard
As a carbamate insecticide, Mercaptodimethur is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor and acts on the nervous system. It is classified as very toxic, and the probable oral lethal dose for humans is 50-500 mg/kg or between 1 teaspoon and 1 ounce for a 150 lb. adult.
Brandgefahr
When heated to decomposition, Mercaptodimethur emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
Landwirtschaftliche Anwendung
Acaricide, Molluscicide, Insecticide: Used to control slugs and snails, soil insects and
spider mites in pome fruit, stone fruit, hops, strawberries,
potatoes, beets, maize, vegetables and ornamentals. Also
used as seed treatment to control fruit flies on maize and
bird repellant on berries and cherries. Methiocarb producers deleted all food uses from their product labels between
1989-92. It is A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP)
except for residential application.

Kontakt-Allergie
Methiocarb is an insecticide or molluscicide with a cholinesterase inhibiting effect. A case of contact dermatitis was reported in a carnation grower.
Pharmakologie
Methiocarb is a carbamate, and its mode of action is via
the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase at synapses in the
nervous system. Unlike many cholinesterase-inhibiting
compounds, however, the effects of methiocarb are rapidly
reversible, and the animal experiences only transitory
disruption.
Sicherheitsprofil
Poison by ingestion,
skin contact, and intraperitoneal routes.
Used as an insecticide, molluscicide, and
bird repellent. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
NOx and SOx. See also ESTERS and
CARBAMATES.
m?gliche Exposition
A potential danger to those involved
in the manufacture, formulation, and application of this
nonsystemic acaricide and insecticide.
Environmental Fate
Soil. Methiocarb was oxidized, probably by singlet oxygen, to the corresponding
sulfoxide and trace amounts (<5% yield) of sulfone when sorbed on soil and exposed to
sunlight. The photosensitized oxidation was faster in soils containing the lowest organic
carbon content (Gohre and Miller, 1986).
Plant. On and/or in bean plants, the methylthio group is rapidly oxidized to the
sulfoxide and sulfone (Abdel-Wahab et al., 1966) followed by hydrolysis yielding the
corresponding thiophenol, methylsulfoxide phenol and methylsulphonyl phenol (Har
Photolytic. When methiocarb in ethanol was irradiated by UV light, only a few
unidentified cholinesterase inhibitors were formed (Crosby et al., 1965).
Chemical/Physical. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen and sulfur oxides when heated to
decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987).
Stoffwechselwegen
Methiocarb is oxidised to a sulfoxide and a sulfone in biological media.
The resulting two carbamate esters and the parent compound are hydrolysed
in soils and plants to the corresponding phenols. Hydroxylation of
the N-methyl group on the carbamate function occurs in mammalian preparations in vitro.

Waste disposal
In accordance with 40CFR
165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform to EPA regulations governing
storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
Remove material with contaminated soil and place in
impervious containers. May be incinerated in a pesticide
incinerator at the specified temperature/dwell-time combination. Any liquids, sludges, or solid residues generated
should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable
federal, state, and local pollution control requirements. If
appropriate incineration facilities are not available, material
may be buried in a chemical waste landfill. May be amenable to biological treatment at a municipal sewage treatment
plant. (Sax/DPIMR).
