The present disclosure provides acaricidal compounds, i.e. compounds 3c {3,6}, 3c {4,6}, 3c {3, 3}, 3c {4,3} and 3c {6,6}, that are effective in killingmites while being harmless to honey bees. 

Use of dialkoxybenzenes for control of honey bee mite varroa destructor

This disclosure describes compounds that affect the olfactory responses of the honey bee mite () and methods of use thereof. The compounds do not kill, and are therefore unlikely to generateresistance, compared to an acaricide. The compounds can work in conjunction with other mite control approaches, such as a bottom board excluder and sticky board control devices, and can enhance the performance of other forms of mite control while decreasing disadvantages associated therewith.

Honey bee mite disruptive compounds and methods of application

The invention provides in part dialkoxybenzene and eugenol compounds for controlling infestation by a, and methods thereof. The compounds include a compound of Formula I:  where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; or mixtures thereof.

[object Object]

The invention provides in part dialkoxybenzene compounds for controlling infestation by a, and methods thereof. The compounds include a compound of Formula I: where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; R2 may be at positions 2, 3 or 4 and may be H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; and R3 may be optionally present at positions 2, 3 and 4, and is allyl; except that when R2 is at position 2, R3 if present is at position 3, and when R2 is at position 3, R3 if present is at positions 2 or 4, and when R2 is at position 4, R3 if present is at position 2, and when R2 is at position 4 and R3, if present, has reacted with an OH group at position 1 in a Markovnikov sense, then R3 becomes R4, a dihydrofuran.
