Just a note

Although the results of our farmers experiment may appear somewhat academic, she has several very good practical reasons for her interest.

Insecticide applications, such as pour-ons, eartags, impregnated hoods, and residual insecticide treatment of housing, kill and repel a variety of biting and bothersome insect species.
This, in turn, increases livestock productivity, lessens disease transmission, and improves both the health and safety of people working alongside the animals.
Lastly, depending upon how mobile these insects are, if a sufficient portion of the insect population is killed a permanent reduction may be achieved. In which case, given suitable monitoring, less insecticide may be needed to maintain control - or it may only be required periodically.
