Infestations can be treated with an '''increase in water salinity'''. If this is ineffective, [[Ectoparasiticides|ectoparasiticides]] such as '''organophosphates''' or [[Ectoparasiticides#Modes of Action|'''chitin inhibitors''']] can be used. Three treatments of OPs are usually required to eliminate all life stages. It should be noted that organophosphate treatment is not permitted in the UK and should be confirmed in any other region before use.
