Although a variety of pest control agents have been used for many years, many of these pest control agents have various problems, such as insufficient effectiveness, and restriction on use thereof due to resistance acquired by insect pests, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an effective compound for a novel pest control agent which is less likely to have such a drawback. The present invention pertains to: an N-(4-pyridyl)benzamide compound represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof; a pest control agent containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient; and a method for controlling pests by applying an effective amount of the compound or a salt thereof. |
