There are two main methods of long wool treatment; hand-jetting and long wool backline. Consult the LiceBoss products module for a list of products registered for long wool treatment in Australia.

It is often not clear whether it is better to muster the sheep and apply a long wool treatment or to wait and treat after the sheep are shorn.The long wool module in LiceBoss can help with this decision.

Early shearing is rarely the most cost effective choice but can be considered if the early shearing time is convenient and it is essential to eradicate lice immediately rather than wait until the usual shearing time.

Some long wool treatments have wool withholding periods that prohibit their use close to shearing. For maximum flexibility in treatment options, it is important to monitor for lice regularly so that new infestations are detected early. Refer to Hand jetting sheep for instructions to get best effect when hand jetting for long wool lice control. For long wool backline treatments read and follow the product label instructions carefully.
