Lice ...AGAIN..Grrrrrr :(

[Bryndu]

So ....my 3 year old has D Lice again..... for the SECOND time this year....
We did the Frontline spray last time on vets recco.....worked....
Now the bally b*****s are back...on his poll.....between his ears
None of the other horses on the yard has them and he mixes, grooms etc.....
I am SOOOOO P****d off.....
Having used the frontline....on horse and stable....do any of you have any ideas where he might be picking them up.....and possibly a better product?
Thanks in anticipation....

Worm with an ivermectin based wormer, they kill lice as well as doing the worms.
Deosect also kills lice, cheaper in the long run than the frontline if you have to keep redoing it.
I suspect just as I now find frontline rubbish for my dogs' fleas, it may also be rubbish on lice.

If you google lice on horses, I'm sure it will give you lots of other information about changing all the bedding, scrubbing the stable and cleaning all rugs and grooming brushes. They are the devils own job to eradicate...
