Stampede Pour-On Lousicide For Cattle & Sheep (Diflubenzuron)

Tips For Use

When to Use Stampede?

• Treat cattle for lice around the first cold snap in autumn, when eggs are likely to be hatching.
• Immature lice larvae present at application and those which hatch from eggs post application are prevented from developing to adults, thus breaking the breeding cycle.
• Stampede produces a rapid decline in lice numbers over several weeks – it inhibits the development of nymphs and adult lice will take some weeks to die out.
• Consider treating bulls prior to joining with an additional treatment if necessary.
• Don’t mix treated animals with untreated (clean) animals for at least 6-8 weeks after treatment to avoid re-infestation.

Restraints – Sheep:

• Do not use on lactating or pregnant ewes where milk or milk products may be used for human consumption.
• Do not mix treated sheep with untreated sheep until at least 6 weeks after treatment.
• Do not apply to wet sheep.
• Do not use on sheep that have not been cleanly shorn for any reason e.g. Mycotic Dermatitis.
