have you tried Tree tea oil..also very good ...
only afew drops are needed ... also i recomend the lice en easy shamphoo gorgous Guiean;s works wonders !!!( well does with my piggies and helps get any white nice and clean Wink

the lice come in the hay .. they are a real PAIN..... you could also put some hay in a plastic bag in freezer for say 5 min and it should kill anything crawling !!!...

most if not all shows the judges will not allow any piggie that has any signs of illness on table .. that includes lice .. but then .. i feel you could have scubbed your piggies nice and clean . you then pen your piggie at the show which is already full of hay for you .. and bingo your nice clean piggie as in one go LICE.... Shocked

( do not let this put you off can happen to any piggie breeder) Smile

try and see if you can get the tree tea oil .. it should do the trick
I wish you all the very best , please let me know how you get on .
GOOD LUCK wishes ..
best regards Gwynny Smile
