Methidathion is an organophosphate insecticide; [1] its use is banned in the European Union and USA. [2]

Methidathion has been used as an insecticide in many countries to control caterpillars of Indarbela quadrinotata . [3]

In 2012, residues were found in Thai vegetables at levels 100 times the legal limit. Thailand routinely uses many pesticides banned in the US and EU and in amounts far exceeding limits. [4]
