Zusammenfassung:? method is provided herein for controlling insects which are harmful to agriculture and forestry and which are also harmful both to humans and to domestic animals. The method involves the steps of applying to a locus infested with such insects a composition comprising a carrier and a biocidalamount of a specifically-recited phototoxic, naturallyoccurring thiophene, acetylene, or a synthetic. structurallyrelated derivative, analogue or acetylenic compound. Then that composition, while at that locus, is subjected to UV radiation in the range of 300 nm to 400 nm, for a sufficient time to impart, to such photo-toxic naturally-occurring thiophene acetylene or synthetic structurally-related derivative analogue or acetylenic compound the desired insect control activity. Certain of these phototoxic naturallyoccurring thiophenes, or acetylenes or synthetic structurally-related compounds are also novel and provide novel insect control compositions.
