Patriot™ Important Information

Patriot is effective against diazinon-sensitive buffalo flies, but resistance may develop to any insecticide. Ensure you use ear tags as part of a strategic rotation program for best results.

Dosage and Administration

Attach one tag per animal to the back of the ear. Patriot can be applied using an Allflex UTT3S or LazaMatic applicator. 

All mature animals in a herd should be tagged for best results. Calves less than 3 months should not be tagged as ear damage may result. Remove tags at the end of their payout period (4 months) or prior to slaughter.  

Always read and follow label directions.
