Abstract
The spot test consists in applying materials to small areas on cattle and confining stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans (L)) on these areas at various intervals after treatment. Materials that are effective in this test are further evaluated by treating an entire animal and placing it in a screened cage with flies. Results of spot tests with several insecticides and a comparison of results obtained in tests with methoxychlor by both methods are presented.Keywords
