The antiparasitic agent “Butoks-50” looks like an oily liquid of light yellow color, which has a specific smell, expressed mildly. For use at home, "Butox-50" is used in ampoules, which allows you to correctly and easily prepare an active solution that is safe for others. For convenience, the ampoules are packed in cardboard boxes of five pieces.
"Butox-50", the instructions for use of which are in the package, are used to destroy fleas, lice, withers, chicken, scabies and ixodid ticks, as well as flies, mosquitoes and bugs.
A working solution of the drug must be prepared immediately before use. To do this, the concentrated Butox-50 emulsion is diluted with cool tap water in proportions that depend on which parasites to fight:
- Lice, fleas, water- eaters - 1 ampoule (1 ml) per 4 liters of water. Re-processing is carried out in a month.
- Ixodid ticks - 1 dose per 1.5 liters of water. The second treatment must be carried out after 2 weeks, and after - if necessary.
- Scabies mites - 1 ampoule per 1 liter. Not only the affected area should be treated, but also the area around it. After a week and a half, the event is repeated.
The desired concentration of the drug is calculated by the general formula:
(A * B) / C = X, where A is the required concentration of the working solution; B - the desired amount of emulsion (ml); C is the content of the active substance in solution (%); X is the amount of concentrate (5%) required to prepare 1 liter of working fluid.
For example, you need to prepare a liter of a solution with a concentration of 0.004%. Data is substituted into the formula and get:
X = (0.004% * 1000 ml) / 5%
X = 0.8 ml
So, in order to prepare 1 liter of a 0.004% solution, you need to take 0.8 ml of concentrate (5%); for 10 l - 8 ml of Butox (8 ampoules), which are diluted in a small amount of water and poured into a prepared container, then brought to the desired volume.
