Mortality curves of larvae of five common tick species dipped in dioxathion, chlorphenvinphos and oxionthiophos are presented. The mortality of three species of ticks were examined at various times of the day. The results showed that at 14h00 the larvae were more sensitive to acaricide treatments than at other times of the day.
