DDVP (also known as dichlorvos) is an insecticide that has various restrictions and prohibited uses. Some unregistered products containing DDVP (e.g. “SNIPER” and “NOPEST”) are being brought into the United States illegally for sale and distribution.

To make the public aware of the dangers of these illegal DDVP products, EPA developed five fact sheets targeted to different audiences.
