How should Bar’s drops for ticks be used? - briefly
Apply Bar's drop feature to each tick by assigning the drop value to the bar’s low or high endpoint, ensuring the chart reflects the exact price change per tick. Configure the drops consistently across the series to maintain accurate visual representation of tick‑by‑tick movements.
How should Bar’s drops for ticks be used? - in detail
Bar’s tick‑control solution is a liquid formulation intended for direct application to the animal’s skin. Proper use maximises efficacy while minimizing irritation and resistance development.
Apply the product only after cleaning the affected area with mild soap and water. Pat the skin dry; excess moisture reduces absorption. Measure the recommended dose with the supplied calibrated dropper—typically 0.5 ml per 10 kg of body weight. Distribute the drops evenly over the entire lesion, ensuring the liquid contacts the tick’s ventral side where it feeds.
Allow the solution to remain on the skin for at least five minutes before covering the area with a breathable bandage, if required. Do not wash or rub the site for four hours to prevent removal of the active ingredient. Repeat treatment after 48 hours to target newly hatched ticks that may have emerged from eggs laid before the first application.
Key safety points:
- Verify the animal’s weight before dosing; overdosing can cause dermal irritation.
- Keep the product away from eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds.
- Store in a cool, dark place; exposure to heat degrades potency.
- Use protective gloves during handling to avoid accidental contact.
If adverse reactions such as excessive redness, swelling, or behavioral signs of discomfort appear, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian. Proper rotation with a different class of ectoparasitic agents every six weeks helps prevent resistance.
