Proven effective for up to five months against horn flies and face flies, Double Barrel Merck VP Cattle Ear Tags’ unique formula eliminates the need for ear tag rotation. A real time-saver for cattle farmers, the ear tags combine an organo-phosphate and a synthetic pyrethroid to minimize resistance. 

Research shows that using two separate classes of insecticides simultaneously is more effective in controlling horn flies and face flies. Effective for up to five months when two ear tags are applied to beef or non-lactating dairy cattle and calves.
