The XP 820 tag has a net weight of 0.32 oz.(9 grams) and a metallic gold color. Precautions and Restrictions: Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. CONTROLS: horn flies, Gulf Coast ticks, spinose ear ticks AIDS IN CONTROL: American dog ticks, cattle fever ticks, lone star ticks and reduces face flies These tags are applied with the Ultra Tagger Plus Applicator.
