I had to spot treat struck lambs recently. Clipped around effected area and applied some iodine. After that reapplied clikzin to every lamb. Only 7 day withdrawal. Expensive, but it’s put an end to it as the flys are everywhere.

I know it would kill the maggots but still wondering would it kill the unhatched eggs laid

I used to used Young's Vector instead of dip. Very effective.
It kept sheep from maggoting.
If a sheep was already maggoted it would kill the maggots.

If you have lambs that are nearly ready for slaughter and they have maggots then used plenty of salt and water rubbed well in.
That will also kill maggots.

Power washed the ewes yesterday very handy jdone it in July last also and had no maggots only used click on lambs .a litre of dip makes 4 barrels of dip as done it two times last year and two this year so very cheap also found ewes were rubbing off of ditches very little last winter after doing them as I will be injecting them also with 2c of noromectin in a few weeks time .so just said I share that bit of information as worked really well for me last winter

The changing weather might slow down the flys abit
