Abstract
Eland (Taurotragus oryx) and buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in the Game Ranching Research Station at the Mushandike Sanctuary in Zimbabwe were treated with 1% flumethrin pour-on to control unacceptably high tick numbers. The pour-on was at first applied with a drenching gun and later by means of a Duncan Applicator. This device allows contact with a saturated treatment column while the animals consume a specially formulated attractant lick from the feed bin. Tick counts done over 3 summer seasons demonstrated the efficacy both of the pour-on acaricide and the method of application.
