Special precautions for use in animals

The product is best applied before an anticipated blowfly challenge, or when a blowfly challenge is identified on or in the vicinity of the farm. Established strikes may require a separate treatment with a knockdown insecticide.

It is recommended that animals with dirty back-ends are dagged prior to application. If dagging or crutching is undertaken in the weeks following application, these animals should be re-treated, otherwise protection could be lost.

Do not apply during heavy rainfall, or when such conditions are expected. The resulting wash out may reduce the protection period.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering CLiK to animals

Handling sheep in the weeks following treatment:
