CRITICAL COMMENTS
FOR EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF LICE, THOROUGH WETTING TO SKIN LEVEL IS
ESSENTIAL.
DIPPING SHEEP HEAVILY INFESTED WITH GRASS SEED IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
For CONTROL of lice, dip sheep with short wool (10 - 42 days after
shearing). Always ensure
thorough saturation of the fleece to skin level over the entire body.
DIPPING OUT: At the end of each day’s dipping, when the sump
requires cleaning, or when the level
of the dip wash falls by more than 25%, add 200 mL of product each
