The invention provides insecticidal compositions exhibiting excellent knockdown activity against public health pests, in particular cockroach species, comprising compounds of formula (I) : <CHEM> wherein X represents a group of formula : <CHEM> where (i) R<1> and R<2> are each selected from hydrogen, halo and C1-4 alkyl, or (ii) R<1> is hydrogen and R<2> represents either R<3>(R<4>)C=CH- or R<3>(R<4>)(R<5>)C-CH(R<5>)-, where R<3> and R<4> are selected from hydrogen, methyl, halo and C1-2 haloalkyl and R<5> is selected from chloro and bromo. The invention also provides methods of use of the compositions, novel compounds of formula (I) and processes for their preparation. |
