In all cases, follow the instructions on the pesticide label. The PNW Insect Management Handbook has no legal status, whereas the pesticide label is a legal document. Read the product label before making any pesticide applications.

Note: Products are listed in alphabetical order and not in order of preference or superiority of pest control.

Notes:

  1. Products labeled for use on dairy goats may not be legal to use on meat goats. Read the label carefully or contact the manufacturer of the product if there are questions. In the event there is conflicting information between this document and the label, the product label is the legal definition for the use of the product.
  2. Veterinarians can prescribe insecticides that are not specifically labeled for pests on sheep and goats provided a valid veterinary-client relationship exists.
  3. If you have questions, consult your veterinarian or Extension professional before applying any pesticide to livestock.

Use pesticides safely!

  • Wear protective clothing and safety devices as recommended on the label. Bathe or shower after each use.
  • Read the pesticide label—even if you’ve used the pesticide before. Follow closely the instructions on the label (and any other directions you have).
  • Be cautious when you apply pesticides. Know your legal responsibility as a pesticide applicator. You may be liable for injury or damage resulting from pesticide use.

Trade-name products and services are mentioned as illustrations only. This does not mean that the participating Extension Services endorse these products and services or that they intend to discriminate against products and services not mentioned.
