As a result, in the treatment with each of the present compounds (2), (3), (6), (10) to (12), (14), (15), (17), (18), (22) to (26), (30), (31), (33) to (35), (41) to (43), (45) to (49) and (51), the number of parasitic insects on the 6th day after the treatment was not greater than 3.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
The present compound has an excellent ability of controlling pests, therefore, it is useful as an effective ingredient in a pests controlling composition.
