' In addition to aluminium cresylate the following aluminium derivatives hav been prepared in a similar manner and resembles aluminium cresylate in that they are solids capable of being easily ground and of being incorporated with finely divided sulphur in a powder dip, namely;
(1) Aluminium phenate (2) Aluminium o-cresylate (3) Aluminium m-cresylate (4) Aluminium mixed cresylate (phenols in fraction 185-200 C.)

Moreover, in some cases it may be found desirable to add other powdered insecticidal agents such as derris or derris extract or arsenical compounds. We claim:
1. An insecticide consisting of a powdered mixture comprising finely divided sulphur and an aluminium derivative of cresylic acid which, when suspended in water, hydrolyses to give a solution of cresylic acid;
2. An insecticide consisting of a powdered mixture of 47% aluminium cresylate, 41.5% dispersible sulphur powder and the balance wetting and dispersing agents.
