Bayer Patriot Insecticide Cattle Ear Tag

For adequate control of horn flies, attach one tag per animal. For optimum control of horn flies, control of ear ticks, and as an aid in the control of face flies, lice, stable flies and house flies, attach one tag to each ear (two per animal). Replace as necessary. PATRIOT tags have been proven to be effective against pyrethroid resistant horn flies for up to five months. Apply as indicated (Figures 1-5). Calves less than 3 months of age should not be tagged as ear damage may result. 1. Disinfect pliers prior to use. Place female tag under clip by depressing lever. Collar on tag must be pointing down. 2. Slide male button on pin. Align tip of male button with female portion. Tag and button are now ready for application. 3. Position tag on the inner flat surface in the center of the ear. Do not allow shaft of the male rivet to penetrate any cartilage rib or blood vessel or ear damage may result. We recommend that tag be rotated at a 90° angle for ease of application. Tag may also be extended outward from the plier in a straight manner. 4. When properly position, the tag should hang straight down.
