* Ear Tags are effective against ear ticks but less so against body ticks. Other methods are not labeled for ear ticks except where noted (footnote >). > Labeled for ear ticks if properly applied. # Combination of pyrethroid and non-pyrethroid compounds. May develop populations resistant to both. To minimize resistance, rotate these types of compounds.
