There are disclosed novel avermectin 8,9-cyclopropyl compounds (also referred to as 8,9-dihydro-8,9-methano avermectin compounds). The 8,9-cyclopropyl compounds are prepared by treating an avermectin compound with an iodohalomethane compound in the presence of an activated form of zinc. The avermectin 8,9-cyclopropyl compounds have utility as anti-parasitic agents and compositions for that use are also disclosed. The compounds are also highly potent insecticides against agricultural pests.
