My concern about the leggings was more thinking that if it eats leggings like that, what is it doing to me, every time I handle the sheep afterwards.
Maybe i’m Just a sensitive little flower when it comes to the carrier in Dysect, but it messes me up even more than OP dip. That’s the main reason I won’t touch it again.

Aye but my point is... You aren't supposed to cover yourself in it, just the lambs
with a 7week withdrawal, I'm usually not handling anything I spray with it for 8wks minimum. Or if it's hoggs/ewes or young lambs for ticks, the cover will be well up by time I next put my hand on them. So in my situation it works fine and I've no concerns about the chemical.But, if it physically affects you, then that's a fair enough reason not to use it.

Here on the tick covered hills of the West Dysect is an invaluable weapon in the armoury.
It's what keeps the ewe hoggs on the hill safe.
I've used it for years and I've never once ruined a pair of leggings with it. I've used it both indoors and outdoors, but I've never felt affected by the vapour. I'd certainly use it outdoors by choice though.
I thus far have no complaints about it as a product, principally because it really works and keeps the sheep safe, and gives me peace of mind.

Clikzin some ewes and didn't touch them until 1 week ago were as the ones that weren't down because they were wet at turnout, had terrible trouble. Clik extra'd all the lambs,
Ectofly gives me a headache.

Been trying to restrain myself ---thought i'd been so good waiting until page 2 !
Going to try a batch of ewe lamb shedders this year and run them alongside my Lleyn ewe lambs. See how they get on. Pity ye don’t have any breeders this side of the water.
Once you've fully converted to the dark side we can send you a Hi-index worm resistant tup over ---others are interested so i'm sure we can arrange something

Clikzin for those close to being fit, dysect longer keep?
Cant beat using clik apart from the price, bought 3 boxes of the stuff last week 12 cans 235 euro apeice
Oouch. That’s a good price all the same. Have been quoted between that and €275 a bottle this year
Yea but seems the best thing for the maggots anyway, yea its the clik extra aswel so be good to see how it goes!
Are you still needing it for your easycare sheep ?

If your not happy with clik/clikzin your not going to be happy with anything else because I’ve used several alternatives and always go back. I would love not to buy clik as it’s extortionately priced but it is the best.
Had a lamb with maggots today that got done with ectofly 2 weeks ago as I had an unopened can left over and it once again pushed me back to clik
