This invention is a method of reducing the incidence of bovine mastitis by mounting an extended release insecticide dispenser on the ventral surface of the bovine's tail just cranial to the switch. This allows the insecticide vapors to permeate the area between the rear legs and the udder and its associated teats. This greatly reduces the incidence of biting insects which transmit mastitis causing bacteria to the teats. Also, tabs are provided on the extended release insecticide dispenser to hold the same in place on the tail until the adhering medium is cured. These tabs are preferably made from a moisture degenerative type material such as paper.
