Directions For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This labeling must be in the possession of the user at the time of pesticide application.
Summer Season: To control horn flies for about 3-4 months and aid in control of face flies, apply 1 tag per animal in late spring. To control horn flies, face flies, lice, Gulf Coast ticks and spinose ear ticks for 4-5 months, and to aid in control of stable flies, black flies, house flies and small horse flies, apply two tags per animal (1 in each ear) when flies appear in spring. Apply 2 tags to large bulls for optimum horn fly protection.
Winter Season: For season-long lice control, apply tags in late fall. To control biting lice, shortnosed sucking lice and aid in control of other sucking lice, apply 1 tag per calf or 2 tags per mature animal (1 in each ear).
Apply as shown with the Y-TEX 2-piece tagging system. All animals in the herd should be tagged. To minimize development of insecticide resistance, remove used tags at end of fly and lice seasons, and follow Y-TEX's recommended tag rotation program.

Step 2
