Product Description
Flectron® Fly Tags are cypermethrin-impregnated ear tags for cattle providing season-long protection against nuisance and biting flies (face, head, horn, stable and other cattle-biting flies). They are intended to be applied at turnout/beginning of the fly season and remain active for the season; tags should be removed at the end of the fly season and before cattle go for slaughter.
Dose rates (dose / administration)
Usual dose: One tag per animal is usually sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of fly control.
Severe infestations: Two tags (one in each ear) may be used where head/face fly attack is very severe.
Application notes: restrain the animal (a crush is ideal); place the tag centrally in firm tissue between the second and third rib of the ear with the fly tag on the back of the ear; depress the applicator fully until a click is heard and check the tag is held firm and swings freely. Full protection can be expected within 24–48 hours of fixing. Tags will remain active for the season but should be removed at the end of the season.

Withdrawal / slaughter & milk considerations
NOAH instructs that tags should be removed at the end of each fly season and before cattle go for slaughter. (Removal before animals leave the farm for slaughter is explicitly advised in the product information.)
Contra-indications / warnings
Tags must be removed before cattle leave the farm for slaughter.
Ensure correct placement (avoid thick ear sections and blood vessels); do not push the tag and stud back together after fixing as this may compress ear tissue.
Disinfect the applicator between animals to assist hygiene and promote healing.
Follow normal veterinary and manufacturer guidance on treating any localised ear infection or damage; avoid application to heavily damaged or infected ears.
