How to Apply EQ 335 to Wounds 
Methods of application are similar to those recommended for smear 
62 and EQ smear 82. The remedy is best applied with a 1-inch brush. 
Uninfested wounds caused by shear cuts, wire cuts, docking, or by any 
other means should be given a light coating of the material. In treating 
infested wounds work the material in well into and apply a coating com- 
pletely around the wound, giving special attention to any deep pockets 
made by the worms. On sheep and goats the drainage area below the wound 
should also receive a light application to prevent attack by other blow flies. 
Kill of Screw-Worms in Wounds 
EQ 335 kills screw-worms more slowly than smear 62 or other 
benzene formulations. However, its action is sufficiently rapid to 
prevent further irritation of the wound by the worms. Larvae up to 
about 2 days old are immobilized within about 15 minutes, but 30 to 
60 minutes may be required for full-grown larvae. 
When to Re -Treat 
It is recommended that wounds be treated at 7 -day intervals until 
healed. Large or severe wounds, or those on cattle that may be bleeding 
profusely, may require two treatments the first week. Frequently one 
or two treatments will protect the wound from infestation until it is 
completely healed. 
Kill of Flies Visiting Treated Wounds 
Screw-worm flies visit wounds of animals either to feed on the 
exudate or to lay eggs. Practically all the flies visiting wounds during 
the first week after treatment with EQ 335 are killed. Since unhealed 
wounds should be treated weekly, a high kill of screw-worm flies should 
result. This in turn should reduce the number of screw-worm cases 
occurring in other animals during the year. Each wound regularly 
treated with EQ 335 is a trap for screw-worm flies. 
Use Against Fleeceworms 
For use against fleeoeworms it is recommended that EQ 335 be 
diluted 1 part to 9 parts of water. For the preparation of 1 pint 
place 3 tablespoonfuls (about 10 teaspoonfuls) in approximately that 
amount of water, mix thoroughly, and then add the remainder of the 
water and shake well before using. Do not prepare emulsions too far 
in advance of their use.
