AGRESSOR™ is a plastic ear tag containing a new, synergised formulation of abamectin (avermectins B1a and B1b) and piperonyl butoxide. Abamectin is a highly active macrocyclic lactone that has never been used before in an ear tag in Australia. The patent pending formulation contains a high loading of piperonyl butoxide which synergizes the abamectin for maximum pesticidal action. This insecticide has excellent activity against strains of Buffalo Fly known to be resistant to other chemical compounds like organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids. This allows for the first time, an annual three way insecticidal rotation program to be adopted to reduce the impact of insecticide resistance. The AGRESSOR™ tag has a net weight of 9 grams and a metallic gold colour.
EFFECTIVENESS
Controls susceptible buffalo flies for up to 12 weeks in Beef and Dairy Cattle (including lactating dairy cattle).
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
- AGRESSOR™ contains a unique chemical compound making it ideal for use as a third rotation option in the Insecticidal tag rotation program with organophosphates (OPtimizer™ and WARRIOR™) and synthetic pyrethriods (PYthon™ and PYthon MAXIMA™) to minimise Buffalo Fly insecticide resistance.
- Agressor™ is the only ear tag worldwide to contain a macrocyclic lactone, which has excellent pesticidal activity against OP and SP resistant strains of Buffalo Fly.
- Agressor™ provides control of Buffalo Fly for up to 12 weeks, reducing the need for frequent re-treatments
and mustering costs. - Works very rapidly, usually eliminating Buffalo Flies within 1 day.
- Agressor™ is the only synergised Abamectin tag worldwide, designed for extended release of active ingredients.
- The tag has no objectionable odour.
- Rainfast – Agressor™ was proven effective in field studies in North Queensland where rainfall in excess of 1,000mm was recorded over the four month trial period.
- Provides sustained pest control potency that can result in increased weight gains.
- Nil withholding period in meat of Beef Cattle and milk in Dairy Cattle (including lactating dairy cattle).
- Has patented Snap-Lok™ collar for guaranteed retention against tag or button failure for 5 months.

Animal and Pest: Beef & Dairy Cattle – Buffalo Flies {Haematobia irritans exigua} State: All States and Territories Rate: Two Tags per animal (1 on each ear). General Indications: Apply only when fly numbers exceed acceptable levels. Removal of tags after 12 weeks will ensure that Buffalo Fly populations are not exposed to sublethal doses, which may increase the chance of resistance. Remove tags with tag removal knife. The level and duration of control may be reduced under high fly pressure. The whole herd is to be treated concurrently.
