2. Product Description: 

Fluazuron is an insect growth regulator belonging to the class of benzoylphenyl urea derivatives, a class of chitin synthesis inhibitors. Fluazuron specifically interferes with chitin formation in ticks during engorgement, moult and hatching. The substance is intended for tick control in beef cattle applied topically as a pour-on for use at single dose levels of 1.5 and 2.5 mg/kg bw with a possible additional treatment after 3 to 6 months. 

3. Application: 

Antiparasite, tick development inhibitor, insecticide, insect/acarine development inhibitor. 
Use in cattle is for the control of Boophilus microplus. 
The principle mode of action of fluazuron on the cattle-tick is by inhibition of chitin incorporation into tick cuticle. The inhibition is presumably against enzymes involved in the final stages of chitin synthesis
