Methiocarb is a carbamate pesticide (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) which is used as an insecticide,^[1][2] bird repellent,^[3] acaricide^[2] and molluscicide^[2] since the 1960s. Methiocarb has contact and stomach action on mites and neurotoxic effects on molluscs. Seeds treated with methiocarb also affect birds. Other names for methiocarb are mesurol^[4] and mercaptodimethur.

Due to its toxicity, methiocarb approval as a plant protection product has been withdrawn by the EU effective 2020.^[5]
