sandyhas3chucks Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 eeek! My new girls have fast moving beasties, got the disabled girl out to give her her Matacam and the were crawling over me. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............. yuk yuk yuk. had a look at the sticky and feel sure it is lice but I am gobsmacked! I always imagined they moved slowly and were hard to see! yuk yuk yuk, scratch itch scratch! Am surmising i need to treat all the girls, lucky I got all the stuff just in case. My old 2 dust bath all the time is it god enough to just put some in the dirt and in their beds>? or do I need to part their feathers, Is it like us you need to get all the through ?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I just gave Molly a skoosh of Johnsons Anti Mite spray round her vent - 2 or 3 bursts I think. I had ES holding her so I could get a good aim . Did it over 2 days and it sorted it immediately. (Egg withdrawal was 3 days, I think.)

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Actually, you're right, I did skoosh them all (although there were no signs of lice on the other 2). (I'd forgotten .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's always best to treat all of them. This year is going to be a record one for lice and mites apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 you 2 are horrid, you only care about my chooks Do i need to do my hair too? (seriously, I know it's natural, talk about fleas & scratch, but I keep feeling like there are things crawling in my hair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 They can feed from humans but are host specific, so don't live on us, but get someone to check your hair anyway. I know exactly what you mean though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sorry, I misread your post . Didn't realise you meant you . I did feel itchy for ages afterwards but it soon passed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean though. I was sooo hoping that was the case. Thanks both of you and I'm glad you care about my girls 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
