Features
Benefits
Vanquish contains the synthetic pyrethroid (SP) alpha-cypermethrin. Alpha-cypermethrin acts as a contact neurotoxin causing paralysis and subsequent death of susceptible ectoparasites. Synthetic pyrethroids are oviposition suppressants and hence repel fly landings.
Provides up to 22 weeks protection against lice reinfestation and prevents flystrike for up to 6 weeks.
Alpha-cypermethrin (SP) pour-on for sheep.
Kills adult lice and nymphs and fly larvae on contact and remains active in the fleece to provide long-lasting protection.
Best used off-shears, but may be used in sheep with up to 10 months wool growth.
Flexible application including emergency long-wool lice treatment.
