. This study reports the results of both a small‐scale and a large‐scale field treatment to assess control of the haematophagous fly Hippobosca maculata Leach a serious pest of equines in a stud in India using a deltamethrin based formulation, Butox ® . In the small‐scale field trial application of 2 litres of deltamethrin at 0.001‐0.003% concentration gave 90–100% control over 30 days. At 0.004% and 0.005% concentrations complete control was recorded for 45 and 90 days respectively. Mass application of 2 litres of 0.005% deltamethrin to equines and bovines controlled infestations of H.maculata for 1 year.
