Extension entomologist Serle Raun of Iowa State College says a single Lindane spray early this summer protects cattle from wood ticks for several weeks, using 1 to 2 quarts per animal in 100 gallons water with 4 pounds Lindane 25 percent wettable powder and 2 pounds detergent for penetration. for dogs, a Lindane bath is advised, mixing half a pound of powder and 2 ounces detergent in 6 to 7 gallons of water. Life cycle notes explain ticks move through hosts from rodents to squirrels and groundhogs before attaching to livestock.
