TICK WOUNDS PREVENTS
SCREW WORM BREEDING
Gainesville, Fla. When the Gulf Coast tick, which becomes numerous in July, August and September, bites an animal, it provides an ideal breeding place for the screw worm unless the wound is promptly treated with pine tar oil, says W. G. Bruce, director of the federal screw worm control campaign in Florida.
The tick is commonly found on the inside parts of the ears of cattle, hogs, sheep, and other farm animals. When ticks on animals are killed with pine tar oil, screw worms cannot infest the wounds.
Tick wounds on animals should be treated with pine tar oil (dehydrated, acid-free, specific gravity of 1.064). Pine tar oil will kill the ticks on stock and repel other ticks and the screw worm fly, Mr. Bruce explains.
