The acaricidal and ovicidal activity against red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) was examined for a series of S-aryl arenethiosulfonates and compared with sulfonate acaricide, ovex and senile. Substituted diphenyl disulfides were obtained from substituted thiophenols, chloronitrobenzene and aniline derivatives. The S-aryl arenesulfonothioates were synthesised from the oxidation of disulfides. Three kind of para substituted compounds were found to have good ovicidal effect but acaricidal activity against adult mite was negligible in all S-aryl arenethiosulfonates.
