Be sure free access to drinking water is available to cattle prior to dipping. Do not dip excessively thirsty animals. Do not dip animals when overheated. Repeat treatment as necessary but not more often than every 7 to 10 days. Treatment for lice, ticks, hornflies, and scabies mites may be made any time of the year except when cattle grub larvae are in the gullet or spinal canal.

Cattle (beef)

Method of use to control parasite and dilution rate (gallons of drug: gallons of water) Grubs: Dip 1:60 Pour-on 1:2 Spray 11:49 Lice: Dip 1:60 Pour-on 1:2 or 1:5 Spray 1:49 or 1:100 Horn flies: Dip 1:60 Spray 1:49 or 1:100 Cattle ticks: Dip 1:60 or 1:240 Spray 1:49 Southern cattle ticks: Dip 1:60 or 1:240 Spray 1:49 Scabies mites: Dip 1:60 Lone Star Ticks: Dip 1:60 Spray 1:49 or 1:100 For optimum cattle grub control, it is important to treat as soon as possible after the heel fly season, before the grub larvae reach the gullet or spinal canal, as the rapid kill of large numbers of larvae in these tissues may cause toxic side effects, such as bloat, salivation, staggering, and paralysis. Control of scabies mites requires two treatments, 10 to 14 days apart. Control of Lone Star Ticks and hornflies requires two treatments, 7 days apart.
