Backrubbers for cattle are an effective and economical method of pest control. These devices are designed to reduce the number of flies, particularly horn flies, and parasites such as lice on the animal. When cattle are bothered by these pests, they tend to rub against objects. Backrubbers provide a treated surface with a pesticide, allowing cattle to self-treat during rubbing.
