Dose:

Sheep: 50 mg of deltamethrin per animal corresponding to 5 ml of product.

Lambs (under 10 kg bodyweight or 1 month of age): 25 mg of deltamethrin per animal corresponding to 2.5 ml of product.

 

Administration:

Apply a single dose with the special 'Squeeze 'n' Pour' dispenser pack or the Spot-On Applicator in one spot on the mid-line of the back at the shoulders. For blowfly strike on sheep, see following specific indication directions.

Lice on cattle: One application should kill all lice. Complete clearance of all lice from the animal may take 4 - 5 weeks, during which time any newly hatched lice are killed. A very few lice may survive on a small minority of animals.

Flies on cattle: For the treatment and prevention of infestations by biting and non-biting flies. Where horn-flies predominate, treatment and prevention of infestations can be expected for 4 - 8 weeks. Do not repeat treatment for flies within four weeks.

Ticks on sheep: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders will provide useful treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks attaching to animals of all ages, for up to 6 weeks after treatment.

Keds and lice on sheep: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders of sheep in short or long fleece will reduce the incidence of a biting louse or ked infestation over a 4 - 6 week period after treatment. It is advisable to: - treat shortly after shearing (animals with short fleece), - keep treated sheep separated from untreated sheep to avoid re-infestation.

N.B. For treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks, keds and lice on sheep, the fleece should be parted and the Spot-On applied to the skin of the animal.

Established blowfly strike on sheep: Apply directly to the maggot infected area as soon as the fly strike is seen. One application will ensure blowfly larvae are killed in a short time. In the case of more advanced strike lesions, clipping out of stained wool before treatment is advisable.

Lice and ticks on lambs: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders will provide useful treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks for up to 6 weeks after treatment, and will reduce the incidence of biting lice over a 4-6 week period after treatment.
