However, the present methods of achieving this are not entirely satisfactory. The application of the insecticide by means of a power jetting machine is economical and effective, but is rather arduous and time consuming where large numbers of sheep have to be treated. An alternative method is the use of a spray dip using the top sprays only. This is quick but uses large quantities of materials and, unless special arrangements are made, exhaustion of the wash becomes a problem. Shanahan (1951) investigated these methods and found that the best protection was given by jetting. Other methods of application, such as mist sprays and fogging have been tried from time to time but the results have been unsatisfactory. D u Toit and Fiedler (1954) drew attention to the fact that some insecticides diffused down the wool fibre and this suggested that satisfactory fly control might be obtained by applying a light spraying of a high concentration-low volume type to the surface of the fleece. I n this trial a comparison was made between
