Sheep
FOR EXTERNAL ANIMAL USE ONLY
CAUTION
COMPOSITION:
Triflumuron 2,5 % m/v
DIRECTIONS FOR USE - Use only as directed
All sheep and/or goats in the flock should be treated.
Animals should be treated dry.
Apply Trigger Strike with an applicator with a wide band width.
Trigger Strike contains a blue dye to identify treated animals. This dye can be removed by scouring the wool.
Moderate rainfall, even within 4 days of treatment will not reduce the efficacy of the product.
When animals have been dipped with Pro-Dip Cyp 20% (Reg. No. G2311), then treatment with Trigger Strike can be applied from 24 hours of dipping.
Lice Control
Apply Trigger Strike once on sheep and goats from shear up to 7 days after shearing.
When shearing ewes with lambs and kids at foot (up to 2 months of age) - shear and treat the ewes and treat the unshorn lambs and kids at the same time.
Trigger Strike is not a knockdown insecticide; it is an insect growth regulator (IGR). It prevents the development of immature lice present in the fleece at application and those that hatch from eggs in the following 20 weeks.
Trigger Strike produces a rapid decline in lice numbers with all adult lice dying by 14 weeks.
Please note that for effective lice control, good management practices, including biosecurity, should be in place.
Treated animals should not be mixed with lice-free sheep or goats for at least 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, adult lice on treated animals cannot infect clean sheep or goats.
Blowfly Control
For long term blowfly strike control in sheep apply Trigger Strike, from shear, up to 3 months aer shearing prior to the expected period of blowfly strike challenge.
For blowfly control Trigger Strike is an IGR which kills fly larvae by interfering with the moulting process.
Small strikes may develop but these are self-limiting and do not require treatment as the fly larvae will die following contact with the insecticide. Protection is obtained for up to 8 weeks, with protection for 13 weeks in some cases.
DOSAGE:
Dose rates are to be based on the heaviest animal in the flock. Animals should be weighed.
