For Lone Star ticks, cattle ticks, sucking lice and chewing lice, particular attention should be given to the legs, axilla and groin area, udder, tail regions and head, including the ears. For Gulf Coast ticks and Ear ticks, treat the head, ears, shoulder area and neck with a low pressure spray. For control of lice, a second treatment 10-14 days later is recommended, to kill lice hatching from eggs.

Spray:

Mix one can (760 ml) TAKTIC^® E.C. in 50 gallons of water (equivalent to 1/2 fl. ounce per gallon of spray solution). A sprayer with a coarse nozzle delivering the solution at 70 to 150 psi is recommended. Spray the walls, floor and any fittings in the pen.

Spray the animals until the mixture runs off, paying particular attention to treat the jowl, legs, inside the ears and underside of the body. It is important that the spray penetrates to the skin until runoff. A second treatment is recommended to break the parasites’ life cycles. Make the application 7-10 days after the first treatment for mite control, and 10-14 days for lice control.
