Lads have a couple of ewes itching away but there only a month away from lambing. Whats the best treatment. Not too sure about dipping this close to lambing. Any other solutions??

Old thread, but same issue...

Lice in store lambs - they weren't shorn, so have a good fleece...

Would a pour on do the job - Ectofly/Vector?

I know there is Spot-on as well, but not sure how good this is on sheep?
