ooo i hope not, dont fancy bathing him in this weather! benzol betnovate for lice isnt it?

You can get a powder for lice - no need for bathing. We treated our mite infected horse with it this weekend.

LOL, definitely stick to the powders in this weather!!!!

But remember to do it out of the wind or you will get treated too!

(Benzyl is for sweet itch really, not lice)
