Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling invertebrate pests which method comprises treating the pests, their food supply, their habitat or their breeding ground or a plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which the pests are growing or may grow, or the materials, plants, seeds, soils, surfaces or spaces to be protected from pest attack or infestation with a pesticidally effective amount of a pyrazole compound of formulae I or II or a salt or an N-oxide thereof, wherein A is a pyrazole radical of the formulae A1 or A2, wherein # denotes the binding; D is a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic radical fused to the pyrazole moiety; R^p1, R^p2 and R^px are H, halogen, CN, NO₂, C₁-C₁₀-alkyl, C₂-C₁₀-alkenyl, C₂-C₁₀-alkynyl, etc.; n is 0 to 4; or two radicals R^px bound to the same ring-member may form an oxo substituent, or two radicals R^px bound to adjacent ring-members may form a 3- to 7-membered fused cyclic radical; B is N or CR⁴, wherein R⁴ is H, halogen, CN, NO₂, C₁-C₄-alkyl, C₁-C₄-haloalkyl, C₁-C₄-alkoxy, etc.; X¹ is S, O or NR^1a, wherein R^1a is H, C₁-C₁₀-alkyl, etc.; X² is O^2a, NR^2bR^2c or S(O)_mR^2d, wherein m is 0, 1 or 2; R^2a is C₁-C₄-alkyl, C₁-C₄-haloalkyl, C₃-C₆-cycloalkyl, etc.; R^2b, R^2c are H, C₁-C₄-alkyl, C₁-C₄-haloalkyl, C₃-C₆-cycloalkyl, etc.; R^2d is C₁-C₄-alkyl, C₁-C₄-haloalkyl, C₃-C₆-cycloalkyl, etc.; R¹ is H, CN, C₁-C₁₀-alkyl, C₁-C₁₀-haloalkyl, C₃-C₁₀-cycloalkyl, etc.; R², R³ and R⁵ are H, halogen, CN, NO₂, C₁-C₄-alkyl, C₁-C₄-haloalkyl, C₁-C₄-alkoxy, etc., to a method for protecting plant propagation material and/or the plants which grow threfrom, to plant propagation material comprising at least one compound of formulae I or II, to a method for treating or protecting an animal from infestation or infection by parasites, to novel pyrazole compounds of formulae I or II and agricultural composition containing those compounds.
