- Description
- The control of ticks on cattle has long been a matter of prime importance to stock owners over most of the intensive natural grazing areas in the Southern Hemisphere. The only practical method of dealing with the cattle tick problem in the short term is by treating the infected bovine host with ixodicides i. e. by chemical control. This can be achieved by either plunging the cattle into a dip tank containing aqueous suspensions or emulsions of the ixodicide or by spraying them with dip suspensions in a spray race.
