Title: Permethrin
Post by: northfifeduckling on July 03, 2012, 04:56:21 pm

I was advised by the vet to get some - now which products have it? I find it quite annoying that bottles don't always give the list of ingredients and product listings with on-line shops are even worse!  :&>

Is it Pyrethum you are thinking of NFD? For treating Lice infestations. Johnsons cat or dog flea spray.
 
If not , sorry can't help.

looking for poultry spray or powder. Just heard back from Net-Tex, Mite-Kill liquids have it in. If anyone knows anything else though, let me know  :&>

Some of the treatments for head-lice/nits for children have it in as the active ingredient - most chemists stock it, but not sure if it's a cost-effective way to treat the chucks?
