Abstract: The present invention provides an agricultural and horticultural poison bait preparation obtained by incorporating a phthalamide derivative represented by general formula (I): (wherein R1 is a (C1-C6)alkyl group, a (C1-C6)alkylthio(C1-C6)alkyl group, a (C1-C6)alkylsulfinyl(C1-C6)alkyl group or a (C1-C6)alkylsulfonyl(C1-C6)alkyl group; each of Xs, which may be the same or different, is a halogen atom; n is 1 or 2; each of Ys, which may be the same or different, is a halogen atom, a (C1-C6)alkyl group, a halo(C1-C6)alkyl group or a halo(C1-C6)alkoxy group; and m is 2 or 3) as an active ingredient into an edible carrier (e.g. rice bran) attractive to insect pests. The agricultural and horticultural poison bait preparation of the present invention exhibits an excellent controlling effect on various insect pests.

Abstract: Ectoparasitic insect pest controllers for animals, containing hydrazine derivatives of the general formula (I) as the active ingredient, and methods for application of the same: (I) [wherein A is (II), (III), (IV), (V) (wherein R4 and R5 are each H, C1-6 alkyl, or the like; and X is H, or one to five substituents selected from among halogeno and optionally halogenated C1-6 alkyl groups); R1 is H or C1-6 alkyl; R2 and R3 are each H, OH, C1-6 alkyl, phenylcarbonyl, or the like; Y is H, or one to five substituents selected from among halogeno, nitro, and cyano; Z is halogeno, cyano, C1-6 alkyl, or the like; and W is O or S]. The insect pest controllers exert remarkable controlling effects on parasitic insect pests harmful to domestic or pet animals, e.g. fleas, lice, ticks.
