Dichlorvos is a synthetic organic chemical used as an insecticide. Dichlorvos does not occur naturally in the environment, but is manufactured by industry. Dichlorvos is sold under many trade names including Vapona®, Atgard®, Nuvan®, and Task®. It is also used as
an insecticide for slow release on pest-strips for pest control in homes. Dichlorvos is used as an
anthelmintic (worming agent) for dogs, swine, and horses, as a botacide (agent that kills fly larvae) for
horses, and in flea collars for dogs. In 1995, EPA proposed cancellation of dichlorvos for all home uses, and for many commercial and
industrial uses.
