necessary to repeat the treatment after 4-6 weeks. All in contact animals must be treated at the same time.

One single application provides protection against flies for 6-10 weeks depending on the degree of infestation, fly
species and weather conditions.

Sheep Pour-ons and spot-ons
Pour-ons and spot-ons need to be applied accurately and each manufacturer may recommend subtle differences. Use appropriate and calibrated guns, always clean with warm soapy water and then rinse after use. Store in a safe dry place. When treating sheep with these products, make sure they are applied along the back line. If placed to one side, the product will not spread evenly around the body. No pour-on or spot-on is effective against sheep scab.

The Four Stroke Method: The four stroke method ensures the pour-on is applied evenly by applying a quarter of the application at a time in four simple strokes.

1) 1/4 applied from between the shoulders to middle of back
2) 1/4 applied from middle of back to top of animals tail
3) 1/4 applied from one side of the animals tail down the crutch
4) 1/4 applied from other side of tail down the other crutch

Cattle Pour-ons
These should be applied along the length of the flattest part of the animal’s back, from the withers to the tail head.
In general, animals should not be treated when the hair is wet or if rain is anticipated within two hours of treatment. However, some products are waterproof and can be used on wet animals.
Areas of damaged skin should be avoided, as should areas contaminated with mud or manure

What is deltamethrin?

Deltamethrin is an insecticide belonging to the pyrethroid family.
Pyrethroids are the man-made versions of pyrethrins, natural insecticides from chrysanthemum flowers.

Deltamethrin was first described in 1974 and entered the marketplace in 1978.
Deltamethrin is in a variety of products used to kill a wide range of insects.

How does deltamethrin work?

Deltamethrin can kill insects by direct contact or if they eat it.
It disrupts their normal nervous system function.
It is less toxic to mammals due to their higher body temperature, larger body size, and decreased sensitivity to the  chemical.
