Routine dipping is not carried out at Lackham. Fly control with Vetrazine™ spray or Crovect™ is applied as an effective alternative. Prevention is better than cure.

Ewes are treated 4 weeks after shearing, lambs treated at shearing or mid May and repeated every 8 to 10 weeks until the fly problem is gone. Soiled fleeces should be dagged when noticed (wormers/rotation should play an effective part of keeping fleeces clean).

Any fly strike should be thoroughly cleaned as soon as possible and 5 mls Spot-On™ applied.
