Re: [AlpacaTalk] dust lice treatment

By the way, we only treat the animals affected, not the entire herd. I don't think we have had lice for years. Keeping the area they lay in clean is really important. Picking up loose hay will keep those sucking parasites at bay. We spray the stalls down with a dilution of grapefruit seed extract as well as any rolling areas.

It is my opinion that you should not be less concerned about your animals as you are with yourself. Washing your hands after you touch them is sufficient, but with the dirt on them, we have to anyway.

I read recently that applying coconut oil to hair that has lice will kill and release the knits. It is a much more eco friendly way to treat for those parasites.

I just finished treating my herd for lice with a dust permethrin product. There were many warnings and precautions on the label, so we were very careful not to come in contact with the chemical dust as we applied it to the animals. My question is, how long should I wait before handling the animals and touching the treated areas? Thanks, Emaly
