1. If the cat has a lot of lice, in order to facilitate the elimination of lice, the cat's fur can be shaved, which will also help to completely eliminate the lice. The shaved hair needs to be treated to eliminate lice to prevent the spread of lice. It can be burned, boiled, or killed with pesticides. It should be noted that shaving a cat can only be done in the warm season and should not be done when the weather is going to be cold or cold.

2. Lice are blood-sucking parasites, so blood medicine can be used to kill them. Veterinary avermectin can kill many blood-sucking parasites in and on the body of mammals through the blood. You can take the cat to the pet hospital for injection of avermectin injection, which can kill lice as quickly as possible; if the injection is inconvenient , go to the veterinary store to buy veterinary avermectin products, mix them in food and feed them to cats, usually once or twice. This method kills lice very quickly and can also eliminate other parasites by the way. However, it can only kill blood-sucking adults and nymphs, but cannot kill eggs. Therefore, it is necessary to use the medicine again 8 days after the third time to achieve the best effect. Even better, because the incubation time of insect eggs is about 8 days.

4. If your cat is used to taking baths, you can go to a veterinary store or pet store to buy lice-killing detergent, or you can buy human-use lice-killing products, and insist on giving the cat a medicated bath every day.

5. If the cat is not used to bathing, you can buy a tick-killing spray, which is generally available in veterinary pharmacies or pet supply stores. The cat may not be used to the smell of the spray and may run away. Therefore, the cat should be locked up or tied with a leash when using the spray. Note, do not spray the cat's eyes. Just spray the mist around the eyes, which can also have a fumigation effect. Some aerosol anti-lice products cannot kill insect eggs. Therefore, after the first application, the application should be repeated on the ninth day.

6. In some places, it is not possible or convenient to buy specialized animal lice killing products. Therefore, you can also use household aerosol insecticides to kill cockroaches and mosquitoes to kill lice. This insecticide has basically no effect on the eggs, so pay attention to repeated use to completely kill the lice.

7. Cat litters, toys and other supplies and rooms where cats live must also be disinfected and dewormed to kill lice attached to objects. If it is convenient to spray the liquid, use low-toxicity broad-spectrum insecticides such as clochlorid mixed with water to spray on the ground and wash various cat supplies. If it is not convenient to spray the liquid, just spray the aerosol insecticide once a day for about ten days to completely eliminate the lice.
