Delays in treating lice can cost you money at the wool table. Sheep lice cost the Australian wool industry $107.6 million each year³. Left untreated while you wait for shearing, lice populations build, fleece derangement worsens, and the damage compounds¹.

An 18-micron fleece can lose $4.98 to $22.45 per head¹^˒² – multiply that across 1,000 sheep and you’re looking at losses of up to $22,450.

Flexolt changes the equation. As the first and only oral lice treatment effective in any length of wool⁴^˒⁶, Flexolt means you can act the moment you detect lice – no shearing required. It works systemically via the bloodstream, unaffected by wool length, rain, or external conditions⁴. With a zero wool harvesting interval, you can treat today and shear whenever it suits you⁴.

Unlike traditional long wool lice suppressants, Flexolt delivers effective lice control in any length of wool, unlike traditional long wool lice suppressants.

Now you can treat lice outbreaks immediately⁵, protect your wool quality in the lead-up to shearing, and arrive at the shed with cleaner, heavier, higher-value fleeces, than if you had waited until fleece derangement occurs to treat for lice.

Don’t let lice dictate your schedule. Treat now. Shear later.
