Avermectin derivatives are disclosed which incorporate two fluorine atoms at the 4' monosaccharide position, the 4" disaccharide position or the 23 position. Avermectin aglycone derivatives are also disclosed which incorporate two fluorine atoms at position 13 or 23. These difluoro avermectin analogs are derived from corresponding ketones and enones which in turn are prepared by chemical modification of naturally occurring avermectins.
