Hi, welcome to BYC!

Elector PSP is supposed to be natural... but pricey.

I choose permethrin spray since it's effective, affordable, easy to use, and no withdrawal for eggs... found in the equine section under many names and concentrations, I like ready to use...

Natural is good... IF it works... this is one time I choose NOT to mess around.

Sulfur in the dirt bath has been shown effective at clearing them... not only in the bathing hens but the rest of the flock... I hate the smell of sulfur.

I haven't tried the essentria IC3 yet, but it looks interesting...

Chickens don't get lice they might have mites.

Yes they do.

I did some research and found out they don't get human lice but certain lice for chickens.
sorry, my bad!
