. Agri-news. Agriculture. October 27, 1980 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THREE METHODS TO CONTROL CATTLE GRUBS The pour-on, spot-on or high pressure spray methods of applying sys- temic insecticides in the fall will effectively control cattle grubs. For Alberta, the last date for safe treatment south of Trans-Canada Highway is November 1, and for the portion of the province north of the highway, December 1, 1980. Alberta cattlemen may select the method most suitable for their type of opera- tion. The pour-on method is quick and simple but requires holding facilities such as a cattle chute. The spot-on technique is an extremely fast method of applying a ready-to-use, highly concentrated systemic insecticide. This can be applied through an applicator gun or a graduated trans-canada HIGHWAY device called a squeeze-spot. High pressure spray is for applying dilute insecticide at 2415-2760 kPa (350-400 psi). Although it is not very commonly used by producers, it has the added advantage of controlling cattle lice. Ali Khan, pest control specialist with Alberta Agriculture, says that early treatment produces better results. For information on current products availa- ble for cattle grub treatment, he suggests farmers contact their agricultural fieldmen, district agriculturists or veterinarian in their area, or contact Dr. Khan directly at.
