The efficacy of Flumethrin (6%) E.C. @ 2ml of water as spray was found effective against lice and flies in 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively. In case of ticks the per cent of efficacy was 87.87% after 48 hrs of treatment. The efficacy of Flumethrin was found comparatively better than deltamethrin ectoparasiticide.
