Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather  marks the end of the horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle  should consume 34 mg of (S)-Methoprene per 100 lbs of animal body  weight per month to achieve horn fly control. This is equivalent to an  average of 1.6 oz. of Thermo-Lix 16% Fly Relief per 100 lbs. of animal body  weight per day, which is equivalent to 16 oz. per day for a 1,000 pound  animal.
To Open: Remove top protective sheet.
