Thank you Sonya for the advice and for making me feel better. Sometimes it just helps to know you are not the only person out there who has had a gross problem.  Anyway, my vet doesn't carry Ovitrol Plus but we talked about it. I found some online for cats/dogs but it was .20% pyrethrins and my vet only recommends .15% for rodents. I did find a spray with similar active ingredients at the pet store for rabbits that was only .06%. My vet gave me the okay and I used it for the carpet and stuff around the rats. I am not seeing any lice on any of the animals anymore, but I have some on hand in case they pop up again. The vet said a couple of weeks just to be safe as far as withdrawl time before feeding any treated rats to my snakes. Plus she says I will probably have to treat them at least once more if there are eggs that hatch. Frustrating but not as bad as it could have been.
