Also as an aid in the control of both biting and nuisance flies including Haematobia irritans, Stomoxys calcitrans, Musca species and Hydrotaea irritans. On sheep For control of ticks (Ixodes ricinus), lice and keds and established blowfly strike. Dosage and administration Dose Cattle - 10 ml. Sheep - 5 ml. Lambs (under 10kg bodyweight or 1 month of age): – 2.5ml.

For headfly and blowfly strike on sheep see following specific indication directions. Lice on cattle One application will generally eradicate all lice. Complete clearance of all lice may take 4–5 weeks during which time lice hatch from the eggs and are killed. A very few lice may survive on a small minority of animals. Therefore it may be necessary on rare occasions to re-treat an animal 6 to 8 weeks later. Flies on cattle To control biting and non-biting flies, frequency of treatment will depend on numbers and species of flies present. Where horn flies predominate good control can be expected for 4–8 weeks. Treatment for fly control should not be repeated within four weeks. Ticks on sheep Application to the mid-point of the shoulders will provide useful control of ticks attaching to animals of all ages, for up to six 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. N.B. For control of ticks, keds and lice on sheep the fleece should be parted and Spot On applied to the skin of the animal. Established blowfly strike on sheep Apply directly to the maggot infested area as soon as 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. Ticks and lice on lambs (under 10 kg bodyweight or 1 month of age): Application to the midpoint of the shoulders of lambs will provide useful control of ticks for up to 6 weeks after treatment, and will reduce the incidence of biting lice over a 4-6 week period after treatment.
