• 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 & 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 will generally eradicate all lice. Complete clearance of all lice may take 4 – 5 weeks.  Lice hatch from the eggs and killed during these 4-5 weeks. 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. Part the fleece and apply the Spot-On to the skin of the animal.

Established blowfly strike on sheep

Apply Spotinor 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.
