Manufacturers add fragrances with a sharp aroma to the product. This feature complicates the use of the drug indoors. But in the air an unpleasant odor quickly disappears.
On a note!
Karbofos is made on the basis of malathion. It is an oily liquid that exudes a sharp amber. The first insecticides with this substance appeared on the market in 1950.

I like Karbofos. I use it every year in the garden. I spend two sprays per season. I always prepare the solution as indicated in the instructions. I do not plan to switch to other insecticides. This inexpensive and effective drug completely suits me.
