My chickens and dogs have lice.
Is there something I can use to
treat them all?
Maldison 50 Insecticide is a very good product
to treat animals for lice. You can use this on dogs,
horses and poultry, as well as cats, cattle and
pigs. It will control parasites like lice, mosquitoes,
poultry mites, fowl tick, brown dog tick, dog
fleas and sarcoptic mange. It is an insecticide,
that you mix with water and then spray onto the
animals. Dilutions will vary dependant on the
animal being treated, but all instructions come
with the product. You can also use it to spray
areas where parasites might be, like kennels,
bedding, nesting boxes or under houses.
Another product you could use is Pestene Insect
Powder. It is effective in the control of lice, mites
and fleas in poultry, dogs, horses, cats, calves
and goats. It is a powder that you sprinkle onto
the animal's coats, bedding and environment on
a weekly basis.
