Deltafort 10 mg/ml Pour-on Solution

To avoid resistance, the product should only be used if the susceptibility of the local
fly population to the active substance is assured.
Cases of resistance to deltamethrin have been reported in stinging and nuisance flies
in cattle and lice in sheep.
Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk
of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy:
- too frequent and repeated use of ectoparasiticides from the same class over an
extended period of time.
- underdosing which may be due to underestimation of bodyweight,
misadministration of the product.
The product will reduce the number of flies resting directly on the animal but it is not
expected to eliminate all flies on the farm. The strategic use of the product should,
therefore, be based on local and regional epidemiological information about the
susceptibility of parasites, and used in association with other pest management
methods.

Special precautions for use in animals
For external use only.

Extra-label use of the product in the non-target species dogs and cats can lead to

Other precautions
Deltamethrin is very toxic to dung, fauna, aquatic organisms and honey bees is
persistent in soils and may accumulate in sediments. The risk to aquatic ecosystems
and dung fauna can be reduced by avoiding too frequent and repeated use of
deltamethrin (and other synthetic pyrethroids) in cattle and sheep, e.g. by using only
a single treatment per year on the same pasture.
The risk to aquatic ecosystems will be further reduced by preventing treated sheep
from entering watercourses for one hour immediately after treatment.
