“…PESTICIDE-IMPREGNATED ear tags continue to be a popular choice for control of horn flies, Haematobla irritans (L.), on cattle, despite concomitant resistance development. When first introduced commercially, tags kept horn fly populations far below the economic injury level of 50 per animal (Butler 1975) for several months (Ahrens & Cocke 1979, Knapp & Herald 1981, Williams et al 1981. However, horn flies soon became resistant to stirofos and pyrethroids, and ear tags are no longer recommended for use in horn fly management programs in some parts of the United States (Sheppard 1983(Sheppard , 1984Harvey et al 1984;Kunz & Schmidt 1985;Schmidt et al 1985).…”

Horn flies could not be maintained below 50 per animal with sprays or dusts during a 21-wk study. However, weights of cows and calves and condition scores of cows were not influenced by suppression of Haematobia irritans (L.) populations. Results show that cattle in northwest Florida can tolerate average populations of greater than or equal to 200 flies for 70 d with no adverse economic effects. Spray treatments providing the best fly control were Lintox-D and Ra-Vap. The most economical products for use were Del-Tox, Lintox-D, and Ra-Vap.

“…Despite their initial promise in controlling horn flies, resistance to OP insecticides developed just a couple of years after their introduction during the 1960s (Harris et al , 1966). The introduction of new ear tag devices impregnated with stirophos led to a reduction in horn fly infestation for longer periods, providing 80% control of horn flies for 14 weeks (Ahrens, 1979). However, resistance again appeared after 1–2 years of usage (Sheppard, 1983b).…”

. The horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) is one of the most widespread and economically important pests of cattle. Although insecticides have been used for fly control, success has been limited because of the development of insecticide resistance in all countries where the horn fly is found. This problem, along with public pressure for insecticide-free food and the prohibitive cost of developing new classes of compounds, has driven the investigation of alternative control methods that minimize or avoid the use of insecticides. This review provides details of the economic impact of horn flies, existing insecticides used for horn fly control and resistance mechanisms. Current research on new methods of horn fly control based on resistant cattle selection, semiochemicals, biological control and vaccines is also discussed.

The effectiveness of two pyrethroids, fenvalerate and deltamethrin, against the fly Haematobia irritans exigua de Meijere (Diptera: Muscidae) on buffalo was considered in a field trial. Fenvalerate provided 100% control for 1, 2 and 4 weeks at concentrations of 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05%, respectively. Concentrations of 0.01 and 0.02% were less effective. One hundred percent control of this fly was obtained with deltamethrin for 2, 3 and 6 weeks at concentrations of 0.003, 0.004 and 0.005%, respectively. Deltamethrin concentrations of 0.001% and 0.002% achieved fly control for only 1-2 weeks, respectively.
