The invention also relates to the use of a compound of FIELD OF THE INVENTION Formula 1 in the manufacture of a medicament for the treat 5 ment of an infestation of an ectoparasitic insect on a animal This invention relates to certain methods for controlling ectoparasitic insects on homeothermic animals DETAILS OF THE INVENTION As used herein, the terms “comprises.” “comprising.” BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION “includes.” “including.” “has.” “having.” “contains” or “con 10 taining.” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover Ectoparasitic insects are particularly bothersome for ani a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, a mals including humans. They are annoying as well as possi mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises bly harmful due to the potential transmission of diseases. a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those Although substantial need has existed in the industry for elements but may include other elements not expressly listed products which control or eradicate Such ectoparasites, prior 15 or inherent to Such composition, mixture, process, method, art attempts have failed to provide effective formulations article, or apparatus. Further, unless expressly stated to the which are capable of fully eradicating or controlling them contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of while also being non-toxic to humans and animals. the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not In an attempt to meet the consumer demand for products of present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), this nature, various pesticides, insecticides and insect repel and both A and B are true (or present). lant formulations have been developed. These products often Also, the indefinite articles “a” and “an preceding an suffer from drawbacks relating to their toxicity or lack of element or component of the invention are intended to be efficacy due to evolved resistance of the parasites. There is a nonrestrictive regarding the number of instances (i.e. occur pressing need therefore for new chemical compounds effica 25 rences) of the element or component. Therefore “a” or “an cious against Such pests which are relatively non-toxic to the should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular animal species they are used to protect. word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above recitations, the term “alkyl, used either alone 30 or in compound words such as “alkylthio’ or “haloalkyl This invention relates to a method of controlling or pre includes straight-chain or branched alkyl, such as, methyl, venting infestations of an ectoparasitic insect, preferably a ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, or the different butyl isomers. The hematophageous ectoparasitic insect, on an animal by admin term "halogen', either alone or in compound words such as istering to the animal a composition comprising an parasiti “haloalkoxy’, includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. cidally effective amount of a compound of Formula 1, or an 35 Further, when used in compound words such as “haloalkyl, N-oxide, or a salt thereof, or “haloalkoxy”, said alkyl oralkoxy may be partially or fully Substituted with halogen atoms which may be the same or different. Examples of “haloalkyl include FC, CICH, CFCH and CFCC1. Examples of “haloalkoxy' include R2 40 CFO, HCFO, CC1-CHO, HCFCHCHO and CFCH.O. One skilled in the art will appreciate that not all nitrogen containing heterocycles can form N-oxides since the nitrogen O | MN 3 requires an available lone pair for oxidation to the oxide; one RI N R skilled in the art will recognize those nitrogen-containing 45 heterocycles which can form N-oxides. One skilled in the art R NH / will also recognize that tertiary amines can form N-oxides. N \ Synthetic methods for the preparation of N-oxides of hetero O cycles and tertiary amines are very well known by one skilled NC R7 in the art including the oxidation of heterocycles and tertiary 50 amines with peroxy acids such as peracetic and m-chlorop R41 N NR5 erbenzoic acid (MCPBA), hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydrop eroxides Such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, Sodium perborate, and dioxiranes such as dimethydroxirane. These methods for wherein the preparation of N-oxides have been extensively described 55 and reviewed in the literature, see for example: T. L.
