Target species Sheep Indications for use, specifying the target species Prevention of blowfly strike on sheep due to Lucilia sericata. Contraindications Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Special warnings for each target species The product is best applied before an anticipated blowfly challenge, or when a blowfly challenge is identified on or in the vicinity of the farm. Established strikes may require a separate treatment with a knockdown insecticide. It is recommended that animals with dirty back-ends are dagged or crutched prior to application. If dagging or crutching is undertaken in the weeks following application, these animals should be re-treated, otherwise protection could be lost. Do not apply during heavy rainfall, or when such conditions are expected. The resulting wash out may reduce the protection period.
