Flies: Apply approximately one quarter of the calculated dose to the top of the
head; the remainder should be poured along the neck and mid-backline.

treatment should be carried out when the number of flies start to increase. In
cases of heavy infestation, the dose may be repeated at 4 week intervals.

control all lice. In certain cases of heavy infestation, the dose may be repeated
after 4 weeks.

all visibly affected areas; any remaining should be poured along the backline in
