From acari (mites) + -toxic (poisonous). Combines entomological terminology with toxicology to describe pesticide effects.
Acarotoxic compounds are carefully engineered to kill mites but not harm humans—it's a chemical tightrope that pharmaceutical companies must walk to create effective anti-mite treatments.
