    Any good deals on Clik ? I have always used Ovisect from Osmonds but if it does not work they will either blame the good or bad weather . I sheared some hoggets at the weekend so I want to treat them now before they are put to an out farm.

    Yea, my shearer tells me there's more maggots than usual for the time of year, the new one CLIK EXTRA seems to be coming at the same price for four weeks extra cover

    Is the withdrawal period the same on the clik extra as the normal clik?

    ... That price is for the ordinary Clik

    They phoned me 5 minutes ago and said they only have 2.5 l and are €155 for it so they are not able to compete with the prices above


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭discodaveirl


    What applicator are people using for clik?
    €40 seems a bit steep for the gun...

    .

    Fairly sure he quoted me for 2.5 L over the phone.

    I see uk prices are ok & applicator quite cheap. Are there any restrictions in buying online from UK ?

    If you look at this 2.2 is written on it, whereas nothing written on agridirect

    I think the problem with ordering from the uk might be more to on their end, with higher shipping costs to Ireland or they mightn't be a registered exporter of animal health products

    Yes I see 2.2 L advertised on other sites... Makes the 5L even more attractive if we could find it at the price quoted above

    yes any product that has a withdrawal period, Fane valley wouldn't sell to me,

    most likely a way around it but not worth the hassle,

    you could probarbly buy the applicator ok

    Remember meeting a rep for clik two years ago. I quizzed them on why their product was so expensive and asked could they sell me some directly. Unfortunately they couldn't sell directly, but under their breath said it even surprises them as to the mark up and now much some retailers charge. it was at a time of a retail price increase and they appeared to know nothing about a increase at their end.

    I think I'm going to put in a dipping tank this year. Think it's a better job than the sprays. I see dipping tanks on done deal for 500€. Another 1000 for digging out, bit of concrete and gates etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,004 ✭✭✭Green farmer


    Find the clik excellent, is there any other spray on product out there can complete with clik ? I see something called Novartis crovect advertised at a reasonable price in uk but know nothing about it ? One thing for certain won't be buying ectofly again.

    We do mix a bit of dip in a budget and spray it on them. Cheap and cheerful

    Very hard to do that in the selling season, there could be a six week withdrawal period on the dip and it really only protects them for about three
    Withdrawal period.....what's that.:rolleyes:

    ... A dipping tank is a good job but hard work.. They do not like going for a swim

    is clik a better job than ectofly, have been using ectofly this past few years. also could i use the ectofly applicator to apply clik

    Used to use ectofly here but it failed a number of times, even though plenty of product on their back. No issues whatsoever with Clik and find it a way superior product, but expensive . Ectofly is very watery in comparison. I know I'm sounding critical of ectofly , but was highly frustrated of it when standing looking at lambs half eaten with maggots. Was an old thread about it a while back, and several others here had same issues. Having said that, if another product came along that gave as good a protection at a cheaper price, I'd buy that instead.

    I used the ectofly applicator with the Click pour on last year and I had no maggots.

    2.2 ltr (no 2.5) would treat about 110
