sounds like you're getting it under control. lice can come from birds flying in and out, it's not hard to believe it's there now when it wasn't a month ago. i used the liquid permethrin on mine, tomorrow is treatment number two, and yes i'm getting a few more eggs now than i was, and expect by the end of the next week, i'll be getting more as well. study the lice treads here, you'll find they only live on a host, not so much worry about them being in the bedding/nest boxes. if it was mites, totally different story, but lice want to stay on the birds.
