Target Pests
Cropro Pounce Insecticide is registered for use against a range of external parasites and nuisance insects affecting cattle, sheep, and pigs. Permethrin is effective against lice (biting and sucking lice), flies including buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua), blowflies (Lucilia cuprina and related species), stable flies, and other nuisance fly species. It is also used in the management of ticks on cattle and mites on pigs. Refer to the product label for the full list of registered pests and the corresponding livestock species for each use.
Cropro Pounce Insecticide contains permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid used for the control of external parasites and nuisance insects on cattle, sheep, and pigs. Always read the product label in full before use, as application rates, dilution ratios, and withholding periods (WHPs) vary depending on the target species, pest, and application method. Never exceed the label rate.
For livestock treatments, this product is typically applied as a diluted spray, pour-on, or dip solution depending on the registered use pattern. Ensure animals are adequately restrained before treatment and that the product is applied to the areas specified on the label for effective coverage. For spray applications, use sufficient volume to achieve thorough, even coverage of the animal's coat or skin without excessive run-off.
Pay close attention to withholding periods before slaughter and any export slaughter intervals (ESIs) listed on the label, as these are mandatory requirements under Australian law. Do not treat animals that are stressed, sick, or in poor condition without veterinary advice. Avoid treating animals in extreme heat — early morning application in hot Queensland conditions is recommended to minimise stress and product degradation.
Store the product in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from children, livestock, feed, and water. As a Schedule 6 poison, comply with all relevant state storage and handling requirements. Dispose of empty containers in accordance with label instructions and your local council guidelines.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only. The registered label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Tips for Best Results
- Timing matters: Apply during cooler parts of the day — early morning is ideal in Queensland's climate — to reduce heat stress on animals and improve handler safety. Avoid application during extreme heat or when animals are wet from rain.
- Resistance management: Permethrin is a pyrethroid (Group 3A insecticide). To slow resistance development, rotate with insecticides from a different mode-of-action group where possible, particularly for blowfly and lice management programs. Consult your local agronomist or vet for a resistance management strategy.
- Complete coverage is critical: For lice and blowfly control on sheep, ensure thorough coverage of the entire animal, including the neck, belly, and legs. Incomplete coverage is a leading cause of treatment failure.
- Observe all withholding periods: Always check and record the WHP and ESI before treating any animals destined for slaughter or producing milk. These periods are legally enforceable under the AgVet Code and non-compliance can result in market access issues.
- Personal protection: As a Schedule 6 poison, wear appropriate PPE as specified on the label — typically chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Avoid skin contact and do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
