Y-Tex Python Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags (SP)

Y-Tex Python Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags are a fast-acting, sustained-release insecticidal ear tag containing synergized S-isomer pyrethroid (SP) compound for Buffalo fly, Cattle Biting Lice and Paralysis Tick control.

Y-Tex Python Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags have excellent activity against Buffalo flies, including Buffalo flies resistant to certain other insecticides. A high loading of piperonyl butoxide synergizes this S-isomer and dramatically reduces the effect of pyrethroid resistance, making PYthon ideal for rotation with diazinon tags.

Active Ingredients: Piperonyl Butoxide @ 200g/kg & Zeta-Cypermethrin @ 100g/kg

Q efficacy against paralysis ticks in young (2-12 week old) calves
Asked by Ross Sillar on December 1, 2021 8:52 am

Answered by the admin
Python Insecticidal Cattle Ear tags have been registered by the APVMA to aid in the control of Paralysis Tick on suckling beef and dairy calves for up to 42 days after treatment. Python Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags have been used extensively in the Northern Rivers of NSW and in South East Qld for many years for the strategic control of Paralysis Tick on newborn calves. Calves that are born in the months of August, September and October are systematically tagged with Python tags as they are born. Some beef producers also tag the dams of the calves in paddocks known to have a high incidence of paralysis tick.

Q Can I use the y-tex python cattle ear tags on horses?

The Y-Tex Python Insecticidal Tags are only registered for use on Cattle for Buffalo Fly & Cattle Biting Louse. As they are not registered for use on Horses the manufacturer would not recommend you use them for that purpose however, we do have customers who have used them for this purpose and are quite happy with the results. They are often platted into the horse's mane or secured close to the horse's ears. Attempting to secure the tags to horses tails has not been successful. Although not registered for this use, the feedback indicates they seem effective against nuisance fly and stable fly. Please note that 'off-label' use is at your own risk and not recommended.
