Each year, the coming of summer means a few things. For some people, summer means outdoor barbecues, soaking up the sun or spending time with family. However, for many dairy farmers, the warm season means beginning to increase fly control management. ULTRA BOSS Pour On and GRENADE ER create a dynamic duo to combat flies not only on cattle, but in the barns as well.
ULTRA BOSS Pour on insecticide boasts long-lasting results, controlling horn flies up to 8 weeks and lice up to 2months, with nearly 100% effectiveness within the first two weeks of administration.
In order to effectively battle external parasites, it is crucial for producers to implement ULTRA BOSS at the first sighting of increased parasites such as flies, mosquitoes or ticks. After administering ULTRA BOSS, there is no preslaughter withdrawal.
Another advantage is that it doesn’t cause any milk discard and its low-volume dosage reduces time and labor.
While ULTRA BOSS helps protect cattle and calves from external parasites, administering GRENADE ER on your premises helps ensure pests will be nowhere to be seen. By applying GRENADE ER to agricultural buildings and equipment such as barns, calf hutches, parlor and pens, you can achieve up to three months of premise protection.
Powered by its active ingredient, lambdacyhalothrin, GRENADE ER allows for optimum time release action and quick insert knockdown, leading to effective results fast. Not only is this insecticide fast acting, but it also has proven to have long lasting results thanks to its microencapsulation delaying the breakdown of ambdacyhalothrin. With an 8 oz bottle equaling out to 40 gallons of solution to treat nearly 20,000 square feet, GRENADE is also an economical and powerful choice.
The most important aspect behind managing fly control is not only utilizing effective products, but also maintaining sound management practices to ensure products are at their most effectiveness. It is crucial to begin fly control before a severe increase in parasites, seeing that if parasite control is applied later, only adult flies are managed while eggs are still left intact.
When applying GRENADE ER to equipment such as calf hutches, it is also important to thoroughly clean hutches and apply the insecticide before placing them. In order to initially maintain fly control before applying any products, managing feed bunks, harrowing pens and feed bunks also ensure that flies won’t be making a home in your barns.
With ULTRA BOSS, GRENADE and sound management practices, you can ensure that these pesky parasites will not be included in your summer plans.
