Effects of Carbofuran(1%) on Cockroach

This is an experiment done by me to show the toxicity of potent poison(Carbofuran) on cockroach. Only 1% is enough to kill this cockroach. Carbofuran is a most toxic carbamate pesticide. It is a neurotoxic poison. It acts by inactivating the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. It is used for making pesticide(Furadan), but it can kill almost any living being on the earth. Many countries ban use of carbofuran as being highly poisonous.
