Such solid formulations are generally prepared by impregnating the solid diluents with solutions of the compound of formula (I) in volatile solvents, evaporating the solvents and, if desired grinding the products so as to obtain powders and, if desired, granulating, compacting or encapsulating the products.
Sprays of a compound of Formula (I) may comprise a solution in an organic solvent (e.g. those listed below) or an emulsion in water (dip wash or spray wash) prepared in the field from an emulsifiable concentrate (otherwise known as a water miscible oil) which may also be used for dipping purposes.

Solvents may be present within wide limits but preferably in an amount of from 0 to 90% w/v of the composition and may be selected from kerosene, ketones, alcohols, xylene, aromatic naphtha, and other solvents known in the formulating art. The concentration of emulsifiers may be varied within wide limits but is preferably in the range of 5 to 25% w/v and the emulsifiers are conveniently non-ionic surface active agents including polyoxyalkylene esters of alkyl phenols and polyoxyethylene derivatives of hexitol anhydrides and anionic surface active agents including Na lauryl sulphate, fatty alcohol ether sulphates, Na and Ca salts of alkyl afyl sulphonates and alkyl sulphosuccinates.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
The following examples illustrate, in a non-limiting manner, the pesticidal activity of compounds of formula (I).
Spray Tests
The activity of the compounds of the invention were tested by dissolving the compounds in acetone (5») and then diluting in water: 'Synperonic' (79.5%: 0.5%) to give a water emulsion. The solution was then used to treat the following insects.
Musca domestica female Musca were contained in a cardboard cylinder with gauze over both ends. Solution containing the compound was spraved onto the inserts ·,η enclosed and mortality assessed after 98 hours at 25°.
The following compounds were active at clOOOp.p.m.
