Trusted and flexible blowfly prevention from the CLiK™ range
Blowfly strike is common – and hits fast and hard, compromising animal welfare and flock performance. Changes in weather patterns mean that the blowfly season is becoming longer and more unpredictable. The risk period in some areas now extends from March through to November, meaning early, extended blowfly control, and selecting the right product to cover your flock, is essential.
The CLiK™ portfolio of products, made up of CLiK™ EXTRA, CLiK™ and CLiKZiN™, deliver flexible protection for every farm through:
Targeted blowfly controlCLiK products contain dicyclanil, an insect growth regulator (IGR), which disrupts the blowfly lifecycle
Narrow spectrum actionCLiK works solely to prevent development of the damaging 2nd and 3rd stage larvae (maggots) ensuring narrow spectrum action as recommended by industry
FleeceBind™ technologyThe only products with FleeceBind technology for full fleece protection*
FleeceBind – it’s what makes CLiK stick
Blowfly prevention is ineffective if it washes off in the first rainfall after application. With FleeceBind technology, CLiK grows with the fleece, giving confidence that early application delivers lasting blowfly protection whilst also helping to limit fly pressure as the season progresses.
Delivers full fleece, consistent protectionFleeceBind spreads from tip to base of fleece, around the animal and onto new wool growth*
Resistance to washoutFleeceBind binds the formulation strongly in place and sticks to the wool even if applied to damp fleece
Protection which grows with the animalEarly application to lambs reduces the cost of extended protection; a lower dose volume means more doses per pack

Scenarios of when to use the CLiK range
Applying CLiK products and calibrating the applicator gun
Correct application makes the most of the CLiK range: duration of cover depends on the correct application. This animation shows how to apply CLiK products using the four stroke technique:
Care must be taken to prevent animals from rubbing and removing the product, as this will almost certainly reduce the duration of protection.
