Striker Spray-On For Flies
Active Ingredient: Dicyclanil @ 50g/L
Similar or comparable to: Clik Spray-On Sheep Blowfly Treatment (Elanco)

Striker Spray-On For Flies is for the protection of sheep against strike by Dicyclanil susceptible strains of blowies (Lucilia cuprina) plus for the protection of mulesing and marking wounds on sheep against strike by Dicyclanil susceptible strains of blowies (Lucilia cuprina) during the wound healing process.

Striker Spray-On For Flies can be applied off-shears or with any length wool on an animal and provides up to 24 weeks of protection.

Striker provides season-long protection to sheep against body, breech and poll strike and may be used either off-shears (within 24 hours of shearing) or in sheep with any length wool (Short Wool: greater than one day and up to 6 weeks after shearing; Long Wool: greater than 6 weeks after shearing). The ESI varies according to wool length at the time of treatment.

Striker Spray-On For Flies also protects mulesing and marking wounds on lambs against flystrike during the wound healing process. The dose-volume is determined by the weight of sheep being treated. Striker Spray-On For Flies may be applied to all breeds of sheep to obtain protection against strike by dicyclanil-susceptible strains of blowflies.

Dicyclanil is an antiparasitic active ingredient used in veterinary medicine in sheep against blowfly strike. It is not used against agricultural or household pests. It is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) belonging to the chemical class of the cyano-pyrimidines.  Dicyclanil is an insect development inhibitor very specific for the prevention of blowfly strike in sheep. It does not control any other external parasites of sheep.  It is used mainly as a spray-on.
