The present study was conducted to evaluate the extirpation effect of plant - derived Pyrethroid compound on dog and cattleticks. Boophilus microplusand Rhipicephalus sanguineusat different stages were immersed into Pyrethroid compound at different concentrations: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10%. The mortality rates of ticks were recorded after 24 hours and 48 hours treatment. The highest mortality rate ofBoophilus micropluswas 63.3% after 24 hours and reached to 70% after 48 hours when treated with Pyrethroid compound at 10%. At 1%, Pyrethroid compound did not show any extirpation effect after 24 hours, only 3,33 % dog sticks and 10 % cattle sticks were killed after 48 hours. All Boophilus microplus andRhipicephalus sanguineusat larva and nymph stages were extirpated by Perythroid compound regardless its concentration. To evaluate the extirpation effect of Perythroid compound on ticks parasited on cattle, 5% Perythroid compound solution was used as spray treatment. 100% Boophilus microplus andRhipicephalus sanguineuat larva and nymph stages were extirpated; 84.85% and 91.70% adult ticks were killed after 24 and 48 hours,respectively.
