Frequency of use
Intensive tick control:

When used as directed at weekly intervals it will provide intensive control of ticks. All animals should be treated and interruption of the programme should be avoided as they will then, if not vaccinated, be susceptible to various tick-borne diseases.

Extended treatment intervals:
Under circumstances of low tick challenge, it may be used, at the user’s discretion, at intervals greater than 7 days. In these circumstances, users are advised to make use of relevant vaccines to obtain optimal protection of their cattle against prevalent tick-borne diseases.

Dip cattle twice with a 7 day interval for lice.

If a period of longer than 3 weeks should elapse between dippings, add additional stabiliser (Calcium hydroxide) at the rate of 2,5 kg to 2 500 litres of dipwash at the end of the last dipping. With this procedure the contents of the tank will be adequately protected for two months.

Each box contains 2,5 Kg additional stabiliser for this purpose.

Storage Instructions
Protect product from extremes of heat and cold and from dampness.
