 | | The pour-on formulation of ivermectin is effective against both biting and sucking lice of cattle; the injectable and paste formulations are less effective against biting lice. | | | Ivermectin, injectable and premix, is effective against the sucking louse of swine. | | | A light, mist application of some formulations may be effective, while others may require soaking the hair to the skin. |

| | Lice |
| | Body lice are most commonly found in clothing, especially where it is in direct contact with the body, as in underwear, the crotch or fork of trousers, armpits, waistline, collar and shoulders. | | | Lice can only develop in a warm environment close to human skin, and die within a few days if they lose contact with the human body. | | | Heavy infestations may spread to other hairy areas of the body, such as the chest, thighs, armpits, eyelashes, eyebrows and beard. |

| | Enzymes in the louse saliva are believed to cause the breakdown of human bilirubin to biliverdin, causing the change in skin color associated with maculae cerulea. | | | Because of the less-mobile nature of pubic lice, they are more likely to be found on affected areas clasping onto the hairs near the skin's surface. | | | In cases of heavy pediculosis, treatment of the body with a pediculicide shampoo or lotion may be beneficial, especially if coexistent head or pubic louse infestation may be present. |
