Lice cost Australian woolgrowers more than $120m annually. They reduce fleece weight and downgrade wool quality. In addition, there are increasing market requirements to minimise chemical residues left behind from lice and flystrike treatments. Efficient control of lice requires the design of strategic and carefully planned lice control programs.
LiceBoss is a decision support system that can help woolgrowers determine the need for a louse treatment, choose the most cost effective control option and minimise residues.
LiceBoss consists of a number of modules that can be chosen separately to meet your particular needs. Click the TOOLS button to use LiceBoss, or the LICE INFO button to access information on lice control.
