INSECTA PARASITES

Arthropod Classification - copyright nabrown RVC

Also known as chewing lice or biting lice

Also known as sucking lice

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

Anopleura lice are more susceptible to systemic insecticide treatment than mallophaga 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
