==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
 
 
 
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
