  • Description: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>When incorporated directly into cattle dung, a formulation of moxidectin was less toxic to larvae of the dung beetle <jats:italic>Onthophagus gazella</jats:italic> and the buffalo fly, <jats:italic>Haematobia irritans exigua</jats:italic>, than an abamectin formulation. Concentrations of moxidectin 64‐fold greater than abamectin concentrations were required to produce equivalent toxicities. Neither moxidectin nor abamectin reduced oviposition by <jats:italic>O. gazella.</jats:italic> Moxidectin may consequently be less likely than abamectin to affect the decomposition of cattle dung but may have less effect on buffalo fly infestations.</jats:p>
