Acaricides are pesticides that kill members of the arachnid subclass Acari, which includes ticks and mites. Acaricides are used both in medicine and agriculture, although the desired selective toxicity differs between the two fields. More specific words are sometimes used, depending upon the targeted group:

Aug 30, 2022 · Acaricides are pesticides that kill ticks and mites. They are one part of a strategy for controlling ticks around homes and should be combined with measures to reduce tick habitats.

May 16, 2024 · Acaricides are substances that kill mites and ticks. This includes substances as diverse as targeted antibiotics, certain insecticides and diatomaceous earth. Acaricides are widely used in agriculture to protect crops from mites. They are also found in pet products that protect animals against ticks.

An acaricide is a pesticide that kills mites and ticks. It can be subdivided into a miticide which kills mites and an ixodicide that kills ticks (Mullen and Durden, 2009).

Acaricide resistance in ticks can be developed in different ways, including amino acid substitutions that result in morphological changes in the acaricide target, metabolic detoxification, and reduced acaricide entry through the outer layer of the tick body.

Sep 13, 2024 · Acaricides are chemicals specifically designed to kill or control mites and ticks, which are common pests affecting plants, animals, and humans. Understanding the different classes of acaricides and their examples is essential for effective pest management strategies.

Aug 5, 2021 · In a study on Asian longhorned ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) by researchers at the University of Tennessee, nymphal ticks were placed into petri dishes after being sprayed with an acaricide. Here they were checked for mortality at zero, one, two, three, four, 21, 24, and 48 hours after exposure.

An acaricide or miticide is a pesticide that provides economic control of pest mites and ticks. Mites and ticks are collectively called either acari or acarina. Some products can act as insecticides or fungicides as well as acaricides.

Acaricides (pesticides that kill ticks) can successfully reduce tick populations, particularly when combined with other tick management options. Chemical control of ticks is generally split into two categories: habitat-targeted application and treatment of tick hosts.

We report a low level of resistance in some of the acaricide-resistant strains against the herbal acaricide in the cattle tick for the first time, possibly due to cross-resistance to chemical acaricides.
