It's been mentioned before, but with no definitive answer 

Would there be egg withdrawal needed with using the Johnsons Mite and Lice Spray. It's main ingrediant is Pyrethrum which is from the chrysanthemum flower. Me and my OH have googled  :blink: but still aren't sure. So they've had another dusting of Vim, Barrier Louse Powder until I'm sure.

well i have it from a reliable source who used it on her hens that she doesnt do egg withdrawal so im going with that, no egg withdrawal, someone will come on here now and say there is and totally confuse me again heheheheheh nickyx

I use that alot when I need to!!!!  Never even thought about egg withdrawal.  I don't think you need to as it's not going in, internally!!!!

 I'm sure someone will on here who has much more experience   
I know Vember uses it

Thanks! 

Pyrethrum is a natural product, so I would have thought it would be okay. I suppose if the hens were to be eaten then it would be a problem, but mine will always be pets, so thats ok.

Lice are a devil to get rid of  Blumming things.

Nicky (aka nzdunn), I have guinea pigs, just the two! Most I had in one go was seven. Adorable aren't they. I've kept guinea pigs for fifteen years.

I never withdraw eggs when I've used Jonhstons spray and I'm ok .........................................................

I think   

Might be best if selling them to folks to cover your backs with a 7 day withdrawl which would then turn in to two wks if you need the second spray to kill any new borns
