Cattle tick ( Rhipicephalus australis ) is one of the most economically significant parasites affecting Queensland cattle producers.
The Queensland Tick Line
Queensland is divided by the Tick Line — a legislated boundary separating tick-infested from tick-free areas. The Wide Bay and Gympie region is generally in the tick-infested zone.
Tick Development Inhibitors
Fluazuron is a tick development inhibitor. Acatak DuoStar combines fluazuron with ivermectin, while Oztik is a fluazuron pour-on. Refer to the current registered product label for withholding periods and re-treatment intervals.
