Barrier Louse Powder is a fully HSE approved (Licence No 8712), 100% natural insect repellent for use against both biting and blood-sucking lice.
Lice can usually be found on the neck, shoulders, along the spine and under the base of the tail, however, the entire body can be affected in heavy infestations.
Biting lice are by far the most common, they tend to be smaller than a blood sucking louse. Biting lice do not affect humans.
Blood-sucking lice can cause severe anaemia and infested animals can rapidly lose weight and become prone to other illnesses.
Lice will breed in straw, particularly barley straw so it is essential that where there is a lice infestation, bedding of this nature is treated or destroyed.

Although lice can only survive for a few days off their host it is important to remember to treat all bedding, housing etc at the same time to prevent re-infestation.
