DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restraints: Remove tags prior to slaughter. Animal and Pest: Cattle including lactating dairy cows - Buffalo Flies (Haematobia irritans exigua), nuisance flies and Cattle Biting Lice (Damalinia bovis). State: Qld, N.S.W., N.T., W.A. Buffalo Fly All States - Cattle Biting Lice and nuisance flies.

Rate: One tag on one ear of each animal (1/head) for Buffalo Fly, nuisance fly and Cattle Biting Lice.

General Indications:

For Buffalo Fly control: Apply when fly numbers exceed acceptable levels. Removal of tags after 3 months will ensure fly populations are not exposed to sublethal doses, which may increase the chance of resistance. Remove tags with tag remover. The level and duration of control may be reduced under high fly pressure. The whole herd is to be treated concurrently.

For Cattle Biting Lice: Apply tags in late Autumn or early Winter and remove after 3 months.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:

Meat : Nil, Milk : Nil. The treatment regime with a strategic rotation program will reduce the potential for insecticide resistance to develop in buffalo flies. 

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL, UNLESS AUTHORIZED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.
