Re: Advice on lice please? :-)
You need to apply it 3 times. So now, then again in a week, and then a third time a week later. Ivermectin stays in a rat's system for 3-4 weeks, so weekly doses are not needed.

Re: URGENT Rats eaten ..... (distressing)

Re: Joining explorers together - Single level!
