[2022/03/10, 13:27:09] Christiaan: Hello all, advice on good tick control for zebra? [2022/03/10, 13:37:36] Luis Amaral: I have used Solution 3.5% ( ivermectin plus abamectin) in zebras in dropout darts and worked well for one and two host ticks. However, for bont-tick, not as good. [2022/03/10, 13:50:39] Nico Du Preez: Extra-label Attila will work – it works in horses, as well as fipronil and abamectin. [2022/03/10, 13:51:32] Henry Labuschagne: Topline also works well. Just avoid any dip with Amitraz !!!! [2022/03/10, 14:08:21] Christiaan: So making use of drop outs darts would be the preferred method of application? [2022/03/10, 14:09:39] Robert Campbell: I have used a foot pressure sprays in estates when additional feeding is applied. Give one the possibility of change of active ingredients based on results over time. [2022/03/10, 14:20:08] Christiaan: So foot pressure application is successful? Has anyone used systems like the Tick-Off applicator or Duncan applicator? [2022/03/10, 14:22:48] Robert Campbell: I have in some places used Duncan applicators and they had marginal effectivity due to not maintaining equipment well. [2022/03/10, 14:24:23] Christiaan: Is there another more effective product I can suggest? [2022/03/10, 14:56:04] Henry Labuschagne: https://youtu.be/9wsSiaRisgg

Ticks affect some zebras greatly in certain habitats within Ghana and their control is a big headache considering their unfriendly nature
