Thirteen acarieides used for control of cattle tick in Queensland were evaluated for their potential in the chemical control of the screw‐worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana. Laboratory evaluations and in vivo tests using artificially infested cattle were made in Papua New Guinea. Most of the acarieides caused some mortality of screw‐worm larvae in infested cattle and in laboratory tests. Acarieides of the organophosphorous, carbamate and organophosphorous/synthetic pyrethroid groups showed reasonable activity against screw‐worm fly, but the amidines were less effective.
