THE BUZZ-KILL Allows Producers to Spray Cattle for External Parasites Easily, Quickly and With Minimal Stress
Whether spraying for lice early in the year or those pesky horn flies in the summer, THE BUZZ-KILL can handle it all in less time, less waste and with less stress on the operator and animal.
THOMAS, Okla., April 2, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Horn flies, face flies, stable flies and other external parasites like lice, mites, and ticks impact cattle production with an estimated economic loss of nearly 1 billion annually to US producers. Spraying cattle is a very effective way to control these profit-robbing pests and now THE BUZZ-KILL system by W-W Livestock Systems makes it easy, quick and with minimal stress.
THE BUZZ-KILL is a self-contained, wireless remote activated spray system that once activated allows you to spray cattle with the ease of simply walking them through a gate. When they break the IR sensor, the system sprays the cattle as they walk through. No more gathering and running them through a chute, crowding in an alley or sneaking up on them at the feed trough. Set up the system in a gateway or use panels along a fence to create a wing, then calmly walk the cattle through and use the wireless remote to spray them as they pass under. Treating a hundred head takes approximately 15 minutes from start to finish and treatment can last up to 21 days, depending on the fly control product used and the weather.
The system consists of a power pack that includes a 2.1gpm pump, 4-gallon tank, solar panel and battery that are all housed in a weather resistant container that is easy to move. The spray panel holds the spray nozzles above the herd and allows the user to easily turn on and off THE BUZZ-KILL with a wireless remote from up to 300 feet away. The panel is adjustable in width and height allowing for installation and use in many different scenarios. The panel expands from 11.5 feet to 14 feet and, with an extension kit, can be expanded to 16 feet. It is designed with a minimum clearance of 6.5 feet and extends to 8.5 feet in height, allowing for passage of a pickup or on horseback if used in a gate. The system is designed to quickly and easily connect the power pack to the spray panel, allowing multiple spray panels to be set up and used with a single power pack.
THE BUZZ-KILL can handle water and oil-based insecticide products and is available with the option of two different nozzle spray patterns to best fit your needs. Manufactured by W-W Manufacturing of Thomas, OK., this system is built for livestock producers by people who know livestock.
