(54) Title: STABLE SULFOXIMINE-INSECTICIDE COMPOSITIONS (57) Abstract: Insect controlling compositions including an N-substituted (6-haloalkylpyridin-3- yl)alkyl sulfoximine compound and an organic acid or a salt thereof exhibit increased stability. STABLE SULFOXIMINE-INSECTICIDE COMPOSITIONS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS: The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/203,689 filed December 26, 2008, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed in this document is related to the field of pesticides and their use in controlling pests. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pests cause millions of human deaths around the world each year. Furthermore, there are more than ten thousand species of pests that cause losses in agriculture. These agricultural losses amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year. Termites cause damage to various structures such as homes. These termite damage losses amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year. As a final note, many stored food pests eat and adulterate stored food. These stored food losses amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year, but more importantly, deprive people of needed food. Many pesticide compositions have been developed over time to destroy pests and alleviate the damages they cause. With respect to at least some of these compositions, physical and chemical instabilities can lead to a reduction in pesticidal activity of the composition and/or present complications when it comes time to apply the composition to a locus where pest control is necessary or desired. For example, physical and chemical instabilities can alter one or more properties of the composition which make it difficult or impossible to prepare appropriate solutions of the composition for use. More particularly, many pesticide compositions are provided in a concentrated formulation from the manufacturer and are subsequently diluted by an end user before their application. During the time between manufacture and application, liquid forms of pesticide compositions can solidify as a result of chemical and physical instabilities of the composition. Often times, this solidification prevents or substantially impedes the dispersion of the composition into a solution suitable for application, resulting in greater user burden and cost and/or wasted pesticide products. Moreover, when physical and chemical instabilities lead to a reduction in pesticidal activity of a composition, an increase in the concentration at which the pesticide is applied and/or more frequent applications of the pesticide composition are often required. As a result, user costs and the cost to consumers can escalate. Therefore, a need exists for new pesticide compositions that exhibit increased chemical and physical stability properties. U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0203191 A l describes certain N-substituted (6-haloalkylpyridin-3-yl) alkyl sulfoximine compounds and their use in controlling insects. It has now been discovered how to improve the stability of compositions including one or more of these compounds over greater periods of time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns novel compositions including one or more N- substituted (6-haloalkylpyridin-3-yl)alkyl sulfoximines and an organic acid or a salt thereof and their use in controlling insects and certain other invertebrates, particularly aphids and other sucking insects. This invention also includes new synthetic procedures for preparing the compositions and methods of controlling insects using the compositions. This invention concerns compositions useful for the control of insects, especially useful for the control of aphids and other sucking insects. More specifically, the invention concerns compositions including an organic acid or a salt thereof and a compound of the formula (1) 4 X represents NO2, CN or COOR ; L represents a single bond or R1, S and L taken together represent a 4-, 5- or 6- membered ring; 1 R represents (Ci-C4) alkyl; R2 and R3 are distinct from each other and individually represent hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, flouro, chloro or bromo; n is 1 when L represents a single bond and is Owhen R 1, S and L taken together represents a 4-, 5- or 6- membered ring; Y represents (Ci-C4) haloalkyl, F, Cl, Br, or I; and 4 R represents (Ci-C3) alkyl. In one particular embodiment, the composition includes a compound of formula (I) wherein L represents a single bond, i.e., having the following structure wherein n is 1 wherein 4 X represents NO2, CN or COOR ; R1represents (Ci-C ) alkyl; R2 and R3 are distinct from each other and individually represent hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, flouro, chloro or bromo; Y represents (Ci-C4) haloalkyl, F, Cl, Br, or I; and 4 R represents (C,-C 3) alkyl. In another particular embodiment, the composition includes a compound of formula (I) wherein R1, S and L taken together form a saturated 5-membered ring, and n is O, i.e., having the structure wherein 4 X represents NO2, CN or COOR ; Y represents (Ci-C ) haloalkyl, F, Cl, Br, or I; and 4 R represents (C 1-C3) alkyl. In certain embodiments, the composition includes compounds of formula (I) in one or more of the following classes: (1) Compounds of formula (I) wherein X is NO2 or CN, most preferably CN. (2) Compounds of formula (I) wherein Y is CF . (3) Compounds of formula (I) wherein R2 and R3 are distinct from each other and independently represent hydrogen, methyl or ethyl. (4) Compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 represents CH3. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that one or more of the compositions described herein may be comprised of combinations of the above described classes of the compound of formula (I). In one or more particular embodiments, the organic acid is a carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, phthalic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, lactic acid and succinic acid. In yet another embodiment, a method includes applying to a locus where control is desired an insect-inactivating amount of a pesticide composition. Still, further embodiments, forms, features, aspects, benefits, objects, and advantages of the present invention shall become apparent from the detailed description and examples provided. SUBSTITUENTS (NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST) The examples given for the substituents are (except for halo) non-exhaustive and must not be construed as limiting the invention disclosed in this document. "alkyl" (including derivative terms such as alkoxy) means straight chain, branched chain and cyclic groups including, for example, methyl, ethyl, 1-methylethyl, propyl, 1,1- dimethylethyl and cyclopropyl. "alkoxy" means an alkyl further consisting of a carbon-oxygen single bond, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, 1-butoxy, 2-butoxy, isobutoxy, tert-butoxy, pentoxy, 2-methylbutoxy, 1,1-dimethylpropoxy, hexoxy, heptoxy, octoxy, nonoxy, and decoxy. "aryl" means a cyclic, aromatic substituent consisting of hydrogen and carbon, for example, phenyl, naphthyl, and biphenylyl. "halo" means fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo. "haloalkyl" means an alkyl group substituted with from one to the maximum possible number of halogen atoms, all combinations of halogens included. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Throughout this document, all temperatures are given in degrees Celsius, and all percentages are weight percentages unless otherwise stated.
