Abstract:
1. A water-containing formulation for the dermal control of parasitic insects on animals by means of agonists or antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of insects, comprising: a) agonists or antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of insects in a concentration of from 1 to 20% by weight based on the overall weight of the formulation, wherein the agonists or antagonists are selected from one or more compounds of formula (I) in which R represents hydrogen or optionally substituted radicals selected from the group consisting of acyl, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heteroaryl and heteroarylalkyl; A represents a monofunctional group selected from the group selected form the group consisting hydrogen, acyl, alkyl, and aryl, or represents a bifunctional group which is linked to the radical Z; E represents an electron-withdrawing radical; X represents the radical —CH═or═N, wherein the radical —CH═ instead of an H atom, may be linked to the radical Z; Z represents a monofunctional group selected from the group consisting alkyl, O—R,—S—R, and where the radicals R are identical or different and are each as defined above, or represents a bifunctional group which is linked to the radical A or the radical X; b) water in a concentration of from 2.5 to 15% by weight based on the overall weight of the formulation; c) solvents selected from the group consisting of alcohols and optionally substituted pyrrolidones, in a concentration of at least 20% by weight based on the overall weight of the formulation; d) solvents selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonates and lactones, in a concentration of from 5 to 50% by weight based on the overall weight of the formulation; e) optionally, auxiliaries selected from the group consisting of thickeners, spreading agents, colorants, antioxidants, propellants, preservatives, adhesives, and emulsifiers.
