Inca Pestene Insect Powder 500g Lice, Mite & Flea Control for Pets & Livestock

Inca Pestene Insect Powder 500g: Lice, Mite and Flea Control for Pets and Livestock

Inca Pestene is a versatile dusting powder for controlling lice, mites and fleas on a wide range of animals. It's a long-established Australian product that can be used across dogs, cats, fowls, calves, horses and goats, which makes it a handy single product for households and small properties with several kinds of animals. It's also used on bedding and in the animals' environment, which helps tackle the pests where they breed as well as on the animal.

The active constituents are sulfur (50g/kg) and rotenone (10g/kg, from cube root), a combination that has been used for many years for external parasite control. It comes as an easy-to-use shaker powder, so you can puff it through a coat, feathers or bedding without any mixing.

Because parasites live both on the animal and in its surroundings, treating the coat along with bedding and the environment, and repeating as needed, is what gives the best control.
