## Abstract

Certain amines are highly effective in controlling parasitic ticks.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of controlling parasitic ticks which attack animals comprising administering to said animal in need of treatment a systemically effective amount against said ticks of a compound of the formula
CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.y --A
wherein y is an integer from 8 to 12 and A is ##STR19##

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 in which the compound is ##STR20##
