Expo™ Extinosad Pour-On for Sheep (spinosad)

For the control of lice on all breeds of sheep.

• For the control of lice on all breeds of sheep.

Good agricultural practice is essential for optimal lice control. This includes ensuring a complete muster so that no animals remain untreated, attention to stock security following treatment, quarantine treatment of new stock arrivals, thorough and accurate dipping management and utilising the principles of Integrated Pest Management. DO NOT mix treated sheep with untreated sheep. It is good agricultural practice not to treat animals when they are wet or if rain is likely. However moderate rainfall following treatment does not adversely affect the effectiveness of the product. Prolonged heavy rain following treatment may reduce efficacy. ExPO™ contains a blue dye to identify treated sheep. The dye is scourable from the wool.
