OJ L, 7.2.2025
The following general resistance management measures shall be applied:
— If the development of resistance is suspected, a change to another product with an active substance with a
different mode of action is required.
— In order to avoid the occurrence of resistance to any active substance, use products with different modes of
action in alternation and avoid the frequent repeated use of the same active substance.
— It is recommended to complement the treatment in livestock facilities with an adulticide product.
— The use of biocidal products can be combined with other sanitation measures (e.g. frequent removal of dung) or
non-chemical means of control (for example the use of parasitoids, where this is viable) within an integrated fly
control program.
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.
Cattle and small ruminant (e.g. sheep and goats) facilities
Deep litter: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) of starting a rearing cycle or within the
first 3 days after dung removal and the build-up of new breeding material has started. Use treatment along walls,
edges and spillage areas around feeders, drinkers and where manure accumulates. Fly breeding sites are likely to be
where manure is not compacted, particularly along walls or fences, because in well-trodden litter limited fly larvae
develop.
Slatted floor: Treat the entire floor area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit but
only after the new manure starts to pile up again.
In case of small ruminants (e.g. sheep and goats) kept on soft bedding: larvae can be found on the whole surface of
the cubicle / pen; therefore, application of the product to the entire surface is required. Apply in corners or around
drinking and feeding troughs if necessary.
Pigs facilities
All-in, all-out system: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit
but only after the new manure starts to build up.
Slatted floors: Treat the entire floor area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit but
only after the new manure starts to build up.
Deep litter: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) after dung removal but only after the
manure starts to build up. Use treatment along walls, edges and spillage areas around feeders, drinkers and where
manure accumulates. Fly breeding sites are likely to be where manure is not compacted, particularly along walls or
fences, because in well-trodden litter limited fly larvae develop.
Chicken poultry facilities (layers, broilers, breeders)
Deep pits, slatted floor, floor-manure-piling operations: Conduct the treatment to the entire dung area within the
first few days (up to 3 days) after manure removal but only after the manure starts to build up.
Bedding operations: Apply onto the humid points where larvae develop, such as in areas around drinkers and feeders
or in points where a leakage of water occurs (fall of steam condensation, leakage from water pipes etc.).
Operations with manure removal belts: Remove manure outside the operations at intervals sufficient enough to
avoid the development of larvae. Spillage of manure on the floor or accumulation of manure in corners may occur
and facilitate the development of larvae. Conduct the treatment by pouring the application solution onto these
points.
Other poultry (turkeys, ducks, geese)
Bedding operations: Apply the application solution onto the humid points where larvae develop, such as in areas
around drinkers and feeders or in points where a leakage of water occurs (fall of steam condensation, leakage from
water pipes etc.).
Slatted areas: Apply the application solution to the entire dung area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after
manure removal but only after the manure starts to build up. Re-apply whenever the level of manure increases by
10 cm.

OJ L, 7.2.2025
Rabbit facilities
Deep pits, floor-manure-piling operations: Apply the application solution to the entire dung area within the first few
days (up to 3 days) after manure removal but only after the first manure starts to build up. Re-apply whenever the
level of manure increases by 10 cm.
Operations with mechanical removal systems: Remove Manure outside the operations at intervals sufficient enough
to avoid the development of larvae. Spillage of manure on the floor or accumulation of manure on corners may
occur and facilitate the development of larvae. Conduct the treatment by pouring the application solution onto
these points.
5.2. Risk mitigation measures
1) Use an applicator (e.g. measuring spoon or beaker) for mixing and loading.
2) The following risk mitigation measures shall be applied without prejudice to the application by employers of
Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work:
