Description
Bayticol Cattle Dip and Spray from Elanco Australasia Pty Ltd contains 75 g/L flumethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid. On cattle and horses, it controls susceptible strains of cattle tick, paralysis tick and New Zealand cattle tick. In addition, it treats brown dog tick and New Zealand cattle tick on dogs.
Control covers synthetic pyrethroid-susceptible strains, including cattle tick strains resistant to chlorinated hydrocarbon, organophosphorus and amidine products. In practice, producers apply Bayticol as a plunge dip, spray-race wash or hand spray. Rain a few hours after treatment does not adversely affect control.

Frequently asked questions
Q. How often should I treat cattle with Bayticol Cattle Dip and Spray?
A. Treat cattle tick at intervals of not more than 19 to 21 days. For paralysis tick and New Zealand cattle tick, use a 10-day interval while ticks are active. The label also recommends resistance testing if control falls.
Q. Can I use Bayticol on horses and dogs?
A. Yes, the label covers horses and dogs as well as cattle. Horses receive the same 1:1000 dilution as cattle. Dogs receive a rinse of 3 mL per 5 L of water. However, Bayticol does not control paralysis ticks on dogs.
Q. Does it matter if Bayticol Dip and Spray goes past its expiration date?
A. Do not use Bayticol after its expiry date. The manufacturer cannot guarantee efficacy or safety after that date. Therefore, check the date before you mix, and store the drum below 30 °C.
Q. Will Bayticol Dip & Spray kill lice on goats?
A. No, Bayticol does not carry a label claim for lice or for use on goats. Instead, the label claims tick control on cattle, horses and dogs only. Always check the label before you treat any other animal.
Q. Will Bayticol Dip and Spray kill feather mites in horses?
A. No, Bayticol is not registered for feather mites on horses. On horses, the label claims tick control only. For further clarification, call Elanco Australasia on 1800 995 709.
