A wide range of acaricides, including organophosphates, organochlorines, carbamates and synthetic pyrethroids are currently being used on livestock in Ghana. The most widely used acaricide in the country is still the organochlorine Lindane. A number of the products used to control ticks on livestock are designed and imported into the country for use as pesticides on crops. The most popular method of application is by hand dressing. Current methods of application together with the general failure to observe withdrawal period for meat and milk could be considered to constitute a significant human health risk.
加纳目前在牲畜身上使用多种杀螨剂，包括有机磷类、有机氯类、氨基甲酸酯类和拟除虫菊酯类。该国使用最广泛的杀螨剂仍然是有机氯林丹。一些用于控制牲畜蜱虫的产品是为作为农作物杀虫剂而设计并进口到该国的。最普遍的施用方法是手工涂抹。当前的施用方法以及普遍不遵守肉类和牛奶的休药期规定，可被视为构成重大的人类健康风险。
