A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of cyhalothrin and lambdacyhalothrin a whole-body spray and lambdacyhalothrin as a pour-on application on cattle infested with Boophilus microplus (Canestrini). A laboratory bioassay was also done with both spray formulations. Cattle were infested with all parasitic life stages of B. microplus, then treated with 0.007 or 0.01% (AI) concentrations of cyhalothrin as a spray; 0.005, 0.007, or 0.01% (AI) concentrations of lambdacyhalothrin as a spray, or 1% (AI) lambdacyhalothrin as a pour-on. As determined by, calculations of the index of reproduction (IR), the 0.007 and 0.01% (AI) cyhalothrin provided 92.4 and 97.3% control, respectively; the 0.005, 0.007, and 0.01% (AI) lambdacyhalothrin provided 92.4, 98.2 (average of two treatments) and 99.3% control, respectively; and the lambdacyhalothrin pour-on treatment provided < 50% control. Bioassay results indicated lambdacyhalothrin to be twice as effective as cyhalothrin against B. microplus.
