Effective Strike Prevention
Striker spray-on provides long-lasting protection against body, breech, and poll strike and is also highly effective in shielding mulesing and marking wounds during the healing process. Its advanced formulation delivers sustained defence, helping reduce the risk of flystrike and promoting animal welfare throughout the season.

This product can be applied to sheep off-shears (within 24 hours of shearing), in short wool (1 day to 6 weeks post-shearing), or in long wool (more than 6 weeks post-shearing). Whether you’re managing ewes, lambs, or newly shorn sheep, STRIKER SPRAY-ON fits seamlessly into your fly control program.
Simple, Direct Application
Apply Striker spray-on straight from the container or a suitable backpack using the recommended applicator gun. Do not dilute or mix with other products. Always dose according to bodyweight and follow label diagrams for correct application.
