You could try dusting them with sevin dust, or give them injectable ivermectin/ivomec----give it orally (1 ml for every 50 lbs). I inject it into pieces of bread and then feed the goats the bread. You can get it at TSC.

Personally for mites and lice I prefer Ivomec given via injection SQ at the label dosage. Repeat in 14 days.


eta: Also remove and burn any bedding and rebed their area.

I have been using tea tree oil and olive oil sprayed on. 1/2 cup olive oil with 2-3 drops of tea tree oil. It's supposed to help with mites, lice and ringworm.
