In the present invention, the term “unsubstituted” means a group consisting of only a mother nucleus. Only the name of a group consisting of a mother nucleus without the term “substituted” means an “unsubstituted” group unless otherwise specified.
On the other hand, the term “substituted” means that any hydrogen atom of a group consisting of a mother nucleus is substituted with a group (substituent) having a structure that is the same as or different from that of the mother nucleus. Thus, the “substituent” means another group bonded to the group consisting of a mother nucleus. The number of the substituent may be one or more. Two or more substituents are the same or different.
Terms such as “C1-6” mean that the number of carbon atoms in the group consisting of a mother nucleus is 1 to 6, etc. This number of carbon atoms does not include the number of carbon atoms present in the substituent. For example, a butyl group having an ethoxy group as a substituent is classified into a C2 alkoxy C4 alkyl group.

This aqueous bait agent or the nonwoven fabric, sponge, absorbent cotton, or the like impregnated with the bait agent is placed in a container, for example, a cup, a tray, or a bottle, and subjected to insect pest expelling. In this respect, a cover is put on the outside of the bait-containing container of the present invention to prepare an apparatus having some degree of space where insect pests are capable of residing in order to ingest the bait agent of the present invention. This generally improves ingestibility and is thus effective.

Test Examples given below show that the heteroaryl azole compound of the present invention is useful as an active ingredient for pest control agents and ectoparasite control agents. The term “part” is based on weight.
5 parts of the heteroaryl azole compound of the present invention, 93.6 parts of dimethylformamide, and 1.4 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether were mixed and dissolved to prepare emulsion (I) containing 5% of the active ingredient.
For a control, 98.5 parts of dimethylformamide and 1.5 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether were mixed and dissolved to prepare emulsion (II).
An insecticidal rate was calculated according to the following expression:
Insecticidal rate (%)=(The number of dead insects/The number of tested insects)×100
0.8 g of commercially available artificial feed (Insecta LFS, manufactured by Nosan Corp.) and 1 μl of the emulsion (I) were well mixed to obtain test feed.
A plastic test container (capacity: 1.4 ml) was packed with 0.2 g of the test feed per treatment plot. Then, two second instar larvae of Mythimna separata were inoculated to each treatment plot. A plastic lid was put on the test container so as to prevent escape of the second instar larvae of Mythimna separata. The container was placed in a thermostat chamber of 25° C. On the fifth day, the insecticidal rate and the food intake were examined. The test was conducted in duplicate.
The insecticidal rate and the food intake of a control plot were examined in the same way as in Test Example 1 except that the emulsion (I) was changed to the emulsion (II).
