*Pediculosis is an infestation of lice
==Control==
*Few insecticides will kill lice eggs on the animal
*'''Two treatments''' are needed to kill nymphs emerging from eggs at the time of the initial treatment and those that will emerge 2-3 weeks later
**At '''two week intervals'''
**Or a product with a '''two week residual activity''' can be used
*Sucking lice are more susceptible to systemic insecticide treatment than chewing lice
*Resistance to insecticides may become a problem so alternating the chemicals used and avoiding pour on treatments (which have a greater risk of resistance developing) should be considered
