With winter shearing underway it is an excellent time to consider lice control.
All lice treatments work best on short wool lengths and some work best off shears. If treatment needs to be carried out 3-4 months after shearing, pour on options become limited and it is difficult to saturate sheep with jetting units.
Treating your sheep for lice while wool lengths are short, will not only give you the best results
but is also the most cost effective option as less costly products and lower dose rates can be used. Treating woolly Ewes or Hoggets in August/September can cost 80 cents or more and lice kill rates can be compromised. As opposed to 40 cents for short wool lengths with excellent control of lice.
