Proven efficacy against lice
Extinosad Eliminator provides rapid control of lice in sheep with short or long wool, including those strains that are resistant to synthetic pyrethroid (SP) compounds. Applied as a jetting fluid to sheep with long wool, Extinosad Eliminator reduces lice numbers by up to 99%, in most cases suspending fleece damage until shearing.(1) Applied as a plunge or shower dip to sheep 2–6 weeks after shearing, Extinosad Eliminator provides 98.9–100% control of lice.(1) Good agricultural practice can help to ensure sheep remain clean right through to the next shearing.
