What product can kill Lice and still eat eggs?

[mkhenderson17]

Ok so I have been researching Lice on BYC and I still can not find the answer to my question.

Is there a product that is safe to put on my hens to kill the lice AND still be able to eat the eggs?
If not what are the withdraw times for eggs for the products.

Also, I know Frontline kills mites but does it really kill lice as well?

Thanks everyone!!!

Eprinex is all I know of, but sometimes it doesn't kill them all...as if some have a resistance?

I've used sevin dust for years and eaten eggs afterwards...still here typing.

Agree with the above, although I havent done it for years, I do use sevendust and still eat the eggs. Havent lost an egg customer yet either.

Is permetherin okay too? I've only been using it on cooped roosters right now, but would like to put it in the "co-ed" dustbath in the main poultry barn.
