Which pesticide targets mites?

Explanation:
Miticide is the term for a pesticide that targets mites. Pesticide categories are named for the pests they control: molluscicides kill molluscs like snails and slugs, nematicides target nematodes, and rodenticides are used against rodents. Mites are tiny arachnids that can damage crops, stored foods, or animals, so miticides are specifically formulated to kill mites or interrupt their life cycle while aiming to minimize effects on non-target organisms.
