Abstract: An insecticide impregnated strip configured for convenient and reliable attachment to conventional animal ear tags. The insecticide strip comprises an elongated integrally molded member having a key-hole shaped aperture formed in an upper portion thereof, enabling the elongated strip to be pendularly suspended from the ear tag. Various methods are disclosed for attaching the strip to different types of known ear tags.

Abstract: Articles including eartags provide topical application of a mixture of (1) a macrolide of the avermectin/milbemycin class, such as, but not limited to ivermectin, abamectin, or milbemectin, and (2) a synergist of the aryl aliphatic ether-class, such as, but not limited to piperonyl butoxide, present in (3) a weight ratio of synergist:macrolide that is greater than 1:1. The articles are effective against various pests of domestic animals, including horn flies and buffalo flies.

Abstract: Pesticidal compositions and articles providing topical application of a mixture of (1) a macrolide of the avermectin/milbemycin class, such as, but not limited to ivermectin, abamectin, or milbemectin, and (2) a synergist of the aryl aliphatic ether-class, such as, but not limited to piperonyl butoxide, present in (3) a weight ratio of synergist:macrolide that is great than 1:1. The compositions and articles demonstrate efficacy, even in point-of-contact applications, against various pests of domestic animals, such as, but not limited to arthropod ectoparasites including horn flies and buffalo flies. Methods are provided in which compositions can be employed as pour-ons, spot-ons, dusts, or sprays for direct topical application to the domestic animal; or in which articles comprising a polymer resin base, such as an ear tag, from which the active ingredients of the composition can be released, are affixed to the animal to provide long-term delivery.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition effective in controlling animal ectoparasites, in particular, horn flies. The composition comprises diazinon and chlorpyrifos and has a synergistic effect as an insecticide. The composition of the present invention is particularly effective in controlling pyrethroid-resistant horn flies.

Abstract: A locking insert for a two-component animal ear tag, such as an identification tag or an insecticide tag which uses a flexible, resilient plastic for insecticide or other pest-controlling active ingredient, includes a hollow cylindrical part, a flexible locking ring which is convexly deformed to grasp and resist withdrawal of the male tag component, and an outer flange. The locking insert is positioned in a female tag body component prior to insertion of the male tag component.
