Dusting Livestock

Martin’s Viper Dust may be used in shaker cans, dust bags or mechanical dusters. Viper Dust may be placed in a dust bag and suspended in frequent pathways of cattle to combat Horn Flies, Lice and Face Flies. For dairy cows, place Viper Dust in a bag, suspended in the exit through which the dairy cows leave the milking barn. The bags should hang 4-6 inches below the back line of the cattle. For face flies, force the cattle to run against the bag on a daily basis. For Horn Flies and Lice, use 2 oz of dust per animal and dust over head, neck, shoulders, back, and tailhead. Repeat as needed, but not more than once every 3 days.

Swine: To treat for lice, use 1 oz per head. Dust a uniform coat to head, shoulder, and back. Repeat as needed, but no more than once in 10 days. See label for shipping restrictions.

Poultry: Use 1lb per 100 birds for Northern Fowl Mites.
