Treatment of pubic crabs is fairly straightforward and effective. Products are available over-the-counter or by prescription, and typically come in the form of a shampoo. Over-the-counter products contain Pyrethrin (1%) or Pymethrin (1%), while the active ingredient in prescription shampoos is generally Lindane (1%).
In order to treat your crabs, thoroughly wash and dry the infected areas. Apply the shampoo, being sure to saturate your hair. Leave the shampoo on for a few minutes or as indicated on the bottle. Wash the shampoo out and then dry the area, and put on clean clothes. In order to kill all of the genital crabs, you must wash your clothes and linens in hot water and dry them for at least 20 minutes. Any clothes that can’t be washed should be dry cleaned or stored in plastic bags for a few days. Any crabs on these items will die, as they need to return to your body to feed.
If your eyebrows or eyelashes are infected with genital crabs, you should get a special prescription to deal with them. The eye area is particularly sensitive, so you need to be careful to get the right treatment. Generally, your doctor will prescribe a special petroleum-based lotion, which you will apply to your eyelids twice a day for ten days. Before your first application, remove any visible nits or lice with a comb or your fingernails.

Put some Old Bay on them, drown them in beer, and steam them for about 15 minutes.
Oh wait...those type of crabs? Sorry, you need to bathe frequently and make sure you wash the tub/shower and all towels a lot.
Geez, Old Bay down there would likely sting......

if they are hermit crabs, you'll need to place some empty shells in the aquarium for them to make a home.

I've heard you have to shave. Don't use RAID or anything like it! There are special products for that but you'll have to ask a doctor.

You need to see a doctor to be treated to stop and rid yourself of the infestation.

I have heard that you are supposed to shave completely. I would do that and then go to a doctor.
