Just as a matter of record, Derris Dust is a plant derived insecticide the
active constituent of which is Rotenone. Carbaryl is another substance
altogether and it can be used against flea beetle, cabbage caterpillars,
leatherjackets and wasps.

I cannot find carbaryl listed in the RHS Pests & Diseases Manual (1997). It
is mentioned in earlier books so this may mean that it is no longer be
available, at least in the UK. 
I don't know about other parts of the world.
