Possibilities include:   Pyrethroids (cypermethrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, resmethrin, tetramethrin, s-bioallethrin, sumithrin);  Organophosphates (coumaphos, dichlorvos, malathion, tetrachlorvinphos)  Organochlorines (lindane, methoxychlor) Always double-check that the chemical you're using is safe to apply directly to livestock.

If your animals are spooked by the sprayer, then dip a sponge or a mitt in the chemicals and rub the sponge or mitt on your animals.  Always wear rubber gloves. Never let these chemicals come into contact with your skin. Spray a resting areas or barns around the eaves, walls, ceiling and and rafters.  Always remove your livestock from the barn before you spray. Some of your animals may have to stay outside for a while. Just follow the directions on the packaging.
