Description

Amitraz 20 – Roy (Ectoparasiticide | Emulsifiable Concentrate) – 100ml

Composition of Amitraz 20

This ectoparasiticide contains 20% (w/v) Amitraz in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate

Mode of Action

Amitraz action involves interaction with Octopamine receptors in the tick’s nervous system, causing an increase in nervous activity.

• Amitraz has a detachment effect: if they are not directly killed, ticks leave the host before completing or even initiating their blood meal.
• Amitraz also has a repellent effect that keeps many ticks away from treated animals.
• It is also recommended to treat kennels, livestock pen, and pastures to kill off larva and control reinfestation of the treated animals.
• Amitraz is also effective against scab and mange mites (Psoroptes spp, Sarcoptes spp, etc.) and against certain lice species.
