[Chip E]

I have and am selling the Y-Tex Python Insectide Ear Tag, it says it controls Gulf Coast Ticks and also Spinose Ear Ticks and also Lice and several different kinds of Flies as well. Like I said the price is $3.00 each and I have them looped together so you can slide the Dog Collar though the loop. Does not hang down from the Dog Collar.

Thanks Chip

Chip,

I would like to order some of the ear tags tell me how.

[Pete Tuck]

Again, do ya'll use a whole tag for one dog or do you cut it in half. I'm sort of scared of a tag on a 15 pound dog that is for a 2000 pound cow.

How long does the tag last before you have to change it??

[mtneerbp]

I just bought some at tractor supply made by y-tex they cost $14.99 for 25 tags same strength as the python tags these are blaze orange thats cheap at only only 64 cents each including tax

[Chip E]

They make several different kinds of Tags the Y-tex Python Tag that is Purple is the one that I have used and are still useing they are $32.00 for 20 at the Feed Store here or you can buy them at the same store for $3.00 each. The Orange Tag only has 21.4% Diazinon in them if they are made by Y-Tex plus they are a bigger Tag also the weight is 15 grams, the Purple Tag or the Python Tag has 20% Piperonyl Butoxide and also has 10% Zetacypermethrin in the Tag and that tag weighs 9.5 grams each.
Some one ask how long they were suppose to last, it says they last about 5 to 6 months.

Thanks Chip Eisenhut

Good queestion and makes sense.

[fasttrackpa]

I use a whole one (purple), I wouldn't use it on a pregnant female or a young pup. I have been warned off using any other kind, they are said to be too strong. I run with guys that have used them for a couple of years with no problem. I suppose for a beagle you could cut it in half or something.

The orange collars I sell are are Permethrin and Piperonyl Butoxide. I would love to have some of the Diazanon tags. Diazanon was banned in 2005 and was made illegal for me to sell as of the first of 2007. Sorry but I only sell at the farm store I manage. If you have some of the diazanon collars please let me know, I would love to have some. I sell the 25 packs of orange colllars for around $15.00. Never thought about using them on dogs, but ticks are already bad.

[Chip E]

IF you go to the spread sheet on the Tags the Orange Tags made by Y-Tex called Optimizer says it has 21.4% Diazinon as Ingredients in them, they come 20 to a package. I do not know the price as I was always told to use the purple tag made by Y-Tex so that is what I used last year and also this year as well, just on older running dogs.

What age or size of beagle would be to young or small to use this product on? I have 2 pups that are 10 months old. The ticks are terrible again this year!!!
