Best Answer

They're largely indifferent to it; most species of lice are highly specialized to eat some part of their hosts, either skin, blood, or sebaceous secretions) so sugar isn't really food as far as they're concerned, but it's also not actually poisonous to them. If it's powdered finely enough it could cause them respiration problems, but the same is true of any fine powder, so there are much better choices (for example, anything that doesn't dissolve in sweat and get sticky).
