Sheep - Lice

Avenge is proven, resistance breaking chemistry that offers 100% knockdown and control of susceptible lice on sheep.

Avenge contains Imidacloprid, a neonicotonoid insecticide that kills lice quickly by affecting their nervous system, resulting in louse paralysis and death.

NEW: Avenge can also be applied off shears to provide dual action of up to 10 weeks protection against flystrike as well as lice control. One application controls both pests at this time freeing the producer to concentrate on other things. Avenge also provides the producer flexibility. When applied in long wool, Avenge provides up to 14 weeks protection against flystrike. 

Avenge controls susceptible body lice (Bovicola ovis) when applied to shorn sheep up to 7 days off shears and unshorn lambs up to 2 months of age. Avenge has a four week residual activity (when applied within 24 hours off-shears), offering the best protection against re-infestation for complete peace of mind. It will continue to kill any lice that hatch from eggs following treatment and protect sheep from reinfestation from stray sheep or other lousy sheep for up to four weeks. If you find a few strays, shear the strays as soon as possible and treat them with Avenge.

Avenge is formulated with Bayer's f.a.s.t. (fleece absorption solvent technology) for rapid penetration and spread through the fleece. This enables Avenge to kill sheep lice fast and deliver prolonged protection against re-infestation, setting a new standard in lice control.

AVENGE is the only knockdown, pour-on lice treatment with 4 weeks residual protection 100% knockdown efficacy to kill lice fast, including strains resistant to other chemical classes.
