Comparative efficacy of Deltamethrin, Amitraz and Ivermectin was evaluated against the common mithun tick Boophilus microplus. Studies revealed that Deltamethrin (1.25) had the highest efficacy followed by Ivermectin and Taktic (12.5) against the tick infestation in mithuns. Based on the present findings it is recommended that Butox (Deltamethrin 1.25) @ 2 ml/lit of water as spray can be used at monthly intervals to keep the mithun herds free from tick infestation.
