The present invention relates to malononitrile compounds of formula
##STR1##
wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and independently
C1-C5 (halo)alkyl, C1-C5 (halo)alkyloxy,
C2-C5 (halo)alkenyl, C2-C5 (halo)alkynyl,
hydrogen, or cyano; R3 is C1-C3 haloalkyl, C2-C4
haloalkenyl, or C2-C4 haloalkynyl; m is an integer
of 1 to 3; R5 is halogen, cyano, nitro, C1-C4 (halo)alkyl,
or the like; n is an integer of 0 to 4, with the proviso that when n is 2 or more,
then R5's are the same or different from each other; R6 is
hydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro, C1-C4 (halo)alkyl, or the
like; as well as pesticide compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients.
The present invention makes it possible to effectively control pests such as insect
pests, acarine pests, and nematode pests.
