Help keep animals free of biting lice.
Biting lice affect many animals, from companion animals like cats and dogs, to poultry, cattle, goats and other farm animals. Biting lice feed primarily off the hair, feathers and skin secretions of their host, and in small numbers cause less discomfort than their blood-sucking cousins. Biting lice do cause irritation however, which can lead to behavioral problems as well as skin and hair disorders and general weakness. Control of biting lice needs to be animal-specific, so purchase lice control products specific to the animal you want to treat.
Instructions
1. Inspect your animals to determine the extent of the infestation.
2. Apply the animal-specific insecticide to the infested animals.
3. Keep treated animals separate and inspect them for lice every two weeks. Re-application of lice treatment may be necessary as any eggs that were not killed during the initial treatment can hatch and cause re-infestation.
4. Reintegrate the animals after four weeks have passed with no re-emergence of the biting lice.
