In a field trial, flumethrin (Bayticol pour on) @ 1 mg/kg body wt. was found highly effective in adult buffaloes which were naturally infested with Haematopinus tuberculatus. Single treatment prevented reinfestation for up to 35 days and no apparent adverse reactions or side effects were noticed during this period. Results revealed that flumethrin could be safely used against lice infestation in buffaloes under field conditions and may be repeated after a month particularly during winter season.
