The invention discloses an insecticidal composition containing thiacloprid amide and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, comprising effective active ingredients of thiacloprid amide and one of etofenprox, silafluofen, tefluthrin, high-efficiency cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, high-efficiency cypermethrin and high-efficiency cyfluthrin synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, wherein the weight ratio of the thiacloprid amide to the synthetic pyrethroid insecticide is (1:60)-(60:1). The composition can be prepared into agriculturally acceptable water dispersible granules, wettable powder, suspension agent, dispersible oil suspension agent, micro capsule suspension agent, missible oil or micro emulsion, the invention has the advantages of reasonable components, good insecticidal effect and low drug cost, the activity thereof and insecticidal effect are not simply superimposed by the activities of all the components, compared with the existing single preparation, not only obvious insecticidal effect is realized, but also obvious synergistic effect is realized, production of resistance is reduced and delayed, preparation residue is less, no pollution is produced to crops, and safety is good, thus meeting safety requirements of pesticide preparation. The invention has high control efficiency on rice stem borer, vegetable plutella xylostella, beet armyworm, cotton bollworm and apple olethreutid injurious insects.
