EFFECTIVE CONTROL WITH
PF TUBS +
IGR
|
*The horn fly is one of the most important and economically
damaging pest of range cattle. In the United States
they cost cattle producers approximately $876 million every
year.
*Begin
feeding PF tubs with IGR before the flies appear.
* PF tubs with IGR's
unique ingredient, Methoprene, even controls horn flies
resistant to the organophosphates and pyrethroids commonly
used in conventional horn fly control products.
*
Scientists estimate that an economical, effective program
keeps the fly population below 200 flies per animal.
* Adult flies migrate from other herds.
PF IGR
feed thru does not kill adult flies.
*PF tubs with IGR
prevents the flies from
multiplying, hence,
breaking the flies
life cycle.
*If
feeding free choice feeds, put out a 30 day supply.
*Use one
tub per 15-25 animals
*Place the
tubs near watering holes or loafing areas.
*Check
consumption for a few days. Increase or decrease
number of tubs, or move them if necessary, to adjust for
proper consumption. |

Cattle Prevent fly Hatch as they
feed.
The most convenient way to control horn flies
in beef and dairy cattle is to supplement with PF tubs containing
IGR feed-thru. Insect growth regulator passes through the animal and
into the manure, where horn flies lay their eggs. It breaks the
life cycle by preventing horn fly pupae
from developing into biting adult flies.
PF tubs with IGR products eliminates the expense, labor and stress
on your cattle associated with sprays, dusts, ear tags and spray on
products.. There’s no
need to round up or handle cattle because the animals spread the
horn fly control as they graze. |

Building a season-long
control program around PF IGR products.
Left untreated, a few horn flies can quickly
explode to populations of 1,000 to 4,000 flies or more per animal.
Scientists estimate that an economical, effective program
keeps the fly population below 200 flies per animal. Occasionally,
adult flies migrate from other herds. Feed-through like IGR do
not kill adult flies. However, IGR prevents the flies from
successfully multiplying, breaking the life cycle.
Horn flies emerge in the spring when average daily
temperatures reach 65 degrees for a period of two weeks.
In most years, PF tubs with IGR alone provides excellent
season-long control, when used as directed. If fly populations
exceed acceptable levels (likely due to migration from untreated
neighboring herds), use an approved adulticide to knock back the fly
population. An effective program
keeps fly levels to less than 200 per animal. Use this
handy guide to help evaluate the fly population
on your cattle. It’s easiest to check flies in the early morning,
when they are usually on the upper side of the animals.

The right choice for cattle, the
environment and you.
PF IGR is unique in that it is an insect
growth regulator, not a conventional insecticide.
Consequently, it is the right choice for your cattle, the
environment and you. Used as
directed, IGR is not harmful to birds, fish, reptiles, mammals
or beneficial insects. In addition,
there is wide-spread horn fly resistance to organophosphates and
pyrethroids. You can feed IGR to
lactating dairy cows. There are no withdrawal times required for
either beef or dairy animals. Choose
the horn fly control product that’s effective, convenient, and economical (as little
as .03 to .05 per head per day). This year,
feed PF tubs containing IGR to your herd.
