My birds kept getting lice a few years ago. It was really bad. When I would think I had gotten rid of the bugs another bird would come up covered in them. I used every safe Dust I could find and then sprayed everyone and the houses with Permethrin spray. Still they came back. Finally treated everyone with Ivermectin. Using the 1% cattle injectable, I put 4-8 drops on each bird depending on the size. Place the drops on the skin at the base of the neck on their backs. Absorbtion takes a couple days to fully work, but it is less harsh on the birds system. Some give it Orally to their birds.
That completely wiped out the lice. I retreated 14 days later to catch any hatching eggs.
