The training sessions were conducted by Veterinary Services personnel to teach the livestock 
inspectors and veterinarians the fundamentals of the identification, biology, inspection, treatment, 
and eradication of cattle fever ticks (Boophi/us spp.). Emphasis was also placed on the recognition 
and importance of domestic and exotic livestock ticks. 
Permitted Dips 
Effective July 5, 1972, Part 72, Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations, was amended to 
_ recognize toxaphene as a permitted dip. 
Dips presently recognized for use in tick eradication programs are: 
(1) Toxaphene emulsions used at a 0.50 to 0.60 percent concentration 
a. Cooper-Tox Livestock 
b. Lintox-X (livestock spray and dip) 
(2) Arsenic solution used at a 0.18 to 0.22 percent concentration. Cattle Dip (labeled for 
official use only). 
(3) Coumaphos wettable powder used at a 0.125 to 0.25 percent concentration. 
(4) Dioxathion emulsion used at a 0.120 to 0.150 percent concentration. 
| a. Del-Tox (DLVGA emulsion only) 
b. Delnav-Extra (EF-5 emulsion only) 
Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to man, animals, and plants. Follow the directions 
and heed all precautions on the labels. 
Store pesticides in original containers under lock—out of the reach of children and 
animals—and away from food and feed. 
Apply pesticides so that they do not endanger humans, livestock, crops, beneficial insects, fish, 
and wildlife. Do not apply pesticides when there is danger of drift, when honey bees or other 
pollinating insects are visiting plants, or in ways that may contaminate water or leave illegal 
residues. 
Do not clean spray equipment or dump excess spray material near ponds, streams, or wells. 
Because it is difficult to remove all traces of herbicides from equipment, do not use the same 
equipment for insecticides or fungicides that you use for herbicides. 
Dispose of empty pesticide containers promptly. Have them buried at a sanitary land-fill 
dump, or crush and bury them in a level, isolated place.
