During the summer season, to control horn flies, lice, Gulf Coast ticks, spinose ear ticks, and face flies: Attach 2 ear tags per animal in May or June or when flies start to become a problem in the spring. Provides up to 5 months control of horn flies.

In the winter season to control lice: Apply two new tags per animal in late fall. Kills cattle-biting lice within two weeks. Apply new tags in the spring for fly and tick control.

All the animals in the herd should be tagged. Follow Y-Tex’s recommended tag rotation to minimize insecticide resistance.
