The present invention provides a technique for exterminating or controlling injurious insects and mites using the physiological activity of the compounds of the present invention. In one of the embodiments of the invention, the compounds are directly applied as such to the objects to be protected or to the pests to be controlled (undiluted spray). For instance, the compounds of the present invention in the form of a liquid of 95% or higher purity can be sprayed from aeroplanes to form a fog of extremely fine liquid particles. The compounds of the present invention can also be used to treat ponds and pools in which the larvae of the insects live or treat environmental water or irrigative water grown with hosts for the larvae to render the living environment or feed (hosts) toxic to the larvae. As is customary in the art, however, in order to exterminate or control injurious insects and mites using the physiological activity of the compounds of the present invention, the compounds are applied in most cases in a form suitable for use, for example, as supported on or diluted with inert carriers and if necessary, mixed with auxiliary agents. General suggestions regarding the formulation of insecticidal compositions with the compounds of the present invention will be described below. The compounds of the present invention are mixed with a suitable proportion of suitable inert carriers together with auxiliary agents if necessary to allow the compounds to dissolve, disperse, suspend, mix, impregnate, adsorb or adhere, and thus they are formed into suitable preparations such as for example solutions, suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, oil sprays, wettable powders, dusts, granules, tablets, pellets, pastes or aerosols. The inert carriers used in the formulation may be either solid or liquid. As examples of the solid carriers, there may be mentioned vegetable powders such as soybean flour, cereal flour, wood flour, bark flour, saw dust, powdered tobacco stalk, powdered walnut shell, bran, powdered cellulose, and extraction residues of vegetables; fibrous materials such as paper, corrugated paperboard, and waste cloth; synthetic polymers such as powdered synthetic resins; inorganic or mineral products such as clays (e.g. Kaolin, bentonite, and acid clay), talcs (e.g. talc and pyrophylite), siliceous substances [e.g. diatomaceous earth, silica sand, mica, and "white carbon" (highly dispersed synthetic silicon dioxide, also called finely divided hydrated silica or hydrated silicon dioxide, some commercial products containing calcium silicate as major constituent)], activated carbon, powdered sulfur, pumice, calcined diatomaceous earth, ground brick, fly ash, sand, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate; chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, urea, and ammonium chloride; and farmyard manure. These materials are used alone or in combination. Materials usable as liquid carriers are selected from those which will dissolve the active ingredients and those which do not dissolve them, but can disperse them with the aid of adjuvants. For example, the following materials can be used alone or in combination: Water, alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethylene glycol), ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone and cyclohexanone), ethers (e.g. ethyl ether, dioxane, cellosolves, dipropyl ether and tetrahydrofuran), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. gasoline and mineral oils), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha and alkylnaphthalenes), halohydrocarbons (e.g.dichloroethane, chlorinated benzenes, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride), esters (e.g. ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate, diisopropyl phthalate and dioctyl phthalate), acid amides (e.g. dimethylformamide, diethylformamide and dimethylacetamide), nitriles (e.g. acetonitrile), and dimethyl sulfoxide. Gaseous carriers include freons and other aerosol propellants which are a gas under normal conditions. The adjuvants, which are mentioned below, are used according to individual purposes. In some cases, they are used in combination with one another. In some other cases, no adjuvant is used at all. For the purpose of emulsification, dispersion, solubilization and/or wetting of the active ingredients, there are used surface active agents such as for example polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene resinates, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, alkylarylsulfonates, naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, ligninsulfonates and higher alcohol sulfate esters.
