So what brand of dip are ye using or intending to use this year?

Going to move away from Hygeia OP dip this year...... Trying to live a bit longer 😊

Not sure what I'll go for yet.

I dont dip, just give them a good spray about a month after shearing. Used ectofly last year and had no problems.

solerina

we use Ectoflits (I think that's how its spelled anyway, white tin with red writing) and find it excellent !!
Gave up on Hygea a few years ago....just didn't work well.

I'll never use Ectofly again after last year.

Clik pour-on I find works best for me.

In what way solerina? They got flystrike? Are you leaving them in long enough?

We have mainly mountainy sheep and some always seemed to pick up maggots 2/3 weeks after dipping with hygea...not with ectoflits, and yes they are definitely in long enough...ectoflits just seems to be a better dip.
We never use pour on/clik always dip we find it more cost effective with a big bunch.

Been using Cyperguard for years and find it good, don't shear till August so everything will go through the tub next week
