It has now been found that certain novel diazole and triazole derivatives have provided unexpected insecticidal activity. These compounds are represented by formula (I). Preferred are those compounds of formula (I) where M and Q are carbon; R is methyl; R1 and R2 taken together are -CH=CHCH=CH-, -C(Cl)=CHCH=CH-, -C(F)=CHCH=CH-, or -C(CH3)=CHCH=CH-; X is straight or branched chain alkylenyl; Y is phenyl; and R4 is one or more hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, cyano, amino, or -(O)t-(CH2)v-Z-R6, where Z is -C(R7)=C(R8)-, -C≡C-, or -C(R7)=NO-; and, R6, R7 and R8 are indepdently hydrogen, halogen, or alky. In addition, compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I), and optionally, an effective amount of at least one of a second compound, with at least one insecticidally compatible carrier are also disclosed; along with methods of controlling insects comprising applying said compositions to the locus of crops where insects are present or are expected to be present. |
