How often should I treat pigs for lice?
A: Most treatments will protect your herd for several weeks. For heavy infestations, a booster dose is usually required 10 to 14 days later to kill any new lice that have hatched since the first application.
How can I tell if my pigs have lice?
A: Common signs your pigs have lice include excessive scratching, rubbing against surfaces, restlessness, and patchy hair loss. You may also notice thickened or irritated skin. Check around the ears, neck, and along the back for small, moving insects or tiny white eggs (nits) attached to hair shafts.
Do I need to treat the environment as well as the pigs?
A: Yes, treating the environment is essential to fully eliminate lice. While most pig lice spend their life on the animal, eggs and some stages can survive briefly in bedding, pens, or equipment. Clean and replace bedding, and thoroughly disinfect housing areas and tools.
