Bayticol 1%

Bayticol Pour On 1% 

For the control of ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) on cattle and as an aid in the treatment of ticks on deer.

Active Constituents:
Flumethrin 10g/L in a liquid for topical application to cattle and deer.

Control of ticks on cattle, and an aid in treatment of ticks on deer. Bayticol is active against all 3 stages of the New Zealand cattle tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis. It also causes infertility of the ticks that survive treatment by inhibiting egg laying or by rendering eggs sterile. This action helps reduce contamination of pastures.

Apply evenly along the midline of the back from the front of the shoulder to the head of the tail. Apply using a plastic measuring cup or automatic drenching gun.

Control of ticks is not affected by rain falling within a few hours of treatment. Bayticol spreads through the oils of the skin and hair coat to all parts of the animal’s body. Behaviour such as grooming and tail swishing aid the movement of the active ingredient to the extremities of the body. Undertake retreatment when ticks start to reappear.

For optimum control in deer, breeding hinds should be treated every three weeks from August to fawning. This programme will reduce the number of nymphs reaching the adult stage, which infest fawn during November-December. Treatment of hinds can be continued after fawning if this is practical. Other stock should be treated every three weeks from August, or as required.
