Control Of Lice On Poultry Flocks Urged By Agent
County Extension Agent E. G. Blackwell presents methods to combat lice on chickens. Sodium fluoride dust kills lice, costing 25 to 50 cents per pound, treating about 100 hens per pound as dust or 300 as a dip. The pinch dust method is advised, or dissolve one ounce per gallon of water for dipping. Dipping should be done in warm morning hours, not in cool weather. Nicotine sulphate roost painting is another option but may not kill all lice varieties. Georgia flocks host at least seven common lice types.
