The naphthoquinones and the METI group of compounds act on sites associated with mitochondrial respiration, but METI‐resistant strains of two‐spotted spider mite from Japan and the UK exhibited no cross‐resistance to the naphthoquinones. The potential for developing commercial naphthoquinones therefore remains high. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
