The invention describes novel 1-arylimidazoles of formula (I),
 wherein typically preferred substituents are:
X is S(O)nR₁, in which R₁ is unsubstituted or halo-substituted alkyl and n is 0, 1 or 2;
Y is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkylideneimino, alkylsulfenyl, alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl;
Z is hydrogen or alkyl;
R₂ is halogen or alkylsulfenyl;
R₃ and R₅ are hydrogen;
R₆ is halogen; and
R₄ is hydrogen, halogen, haloalkyl or haloalkoxy.
The invention further describes processes to make the compounds, compositions of the compounds, and methods of use of the compounds for the control of arthropods (especially mites, aphids or insects), nematodes, helminths, or protozoa.
