It is sparingly soluble in water but very rapidly soluble in common polar organic solvents such as dichloromethane, 2-propanol, toluene, and n-hexane. It is a highly toxic, systemic, and contact insecticide and acaricide and classified as Category I. It is used for the control of insects, aphids, sawflies, and spider mites on cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. On heating, demeton-S-methyl undergoes decomposition and emits very toxic fumes, phosphorus oxides, and sulphur oxides.
