[AlpacaTalk] Re: dust lice treatment

<<We have this stuff called Citricidal (Nutirbiotic Co.) that is highly
concentrated Grapefruit Seed Extract. GSE is anti-parasitic, anti-fungal,
anti-bacterial, anti-everything... You will need to check out the website
and see what the dilutions are for your usage. By the way, using a different
brand will give different results depending on quality and strength.

We put it in a pump sprayer and spray the living quarters as well as around
the poop piles and anywhere they walk regularly. >>

I have used Nutribiotic's GSE for decades for many things and love it,
but never thought of using it in this way. What a great idea; thanks
for sharing!

Also, DE could be dusted in the stalls and I have on occasion dusted it
into their dirt bath areas as a preventative, but haven't done it in
years.

How do you recognize that you have a lice problem?

Isn't injectable invermec/dectomax also a treatment for biting lice? I
seem to recall reading this in Dr Evans manual (which btw I which
*somebody* would tell him an index in his books would make them
infinitely more useful). If they are getting this every 4-6 wks for
menigeal worm prevention, they should be covered for mites as well.

Thanks,
Janice
