| Abstract: | Acaricide-impregnated plastic collars provided up to 22 weeks of control (>70% mortality) of lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum (L.), which infested beagle dogs in eastern Oklahoma. Of the eight commercially available collars tested in 1984 and 1985 the effectiveness of the residues in killing >50% of the attached ticks was lost from <2 weeks (carbaryl) to 22–24 weeks (chlorfenvinphos). Most of the ticks were killed within 24 h of attaching to the test animals, but an additional significant (>0.05% probability) percentage (20.0%) were killed within the next 24 h. The significance of using the collars for protection of dogs from attack by ticks is discussed. |
