Default Re: Cage cleaning for possible mites??

RH the Revolution is only through a Vet and is the choice for Vets in the USA, and Canada for mite treatments on Rodents. The Fipronil Spray is not Ivermectin nor is it Pyrethrins(Both which can be overdosed by even a Vet).

It is the medication used in Frontline which was also a Vet given product until recently when the Frontline company made and OTC version. I was instructed by a small animal Vet to use the Fiproguard spray and would never suggest any product not used by myself via a Vets subscription.

Rodent Mites are always about in my home because we live in a 100 Year old home with hollow walls which wild mice love to live in who have Rodent mites and occasionally climb out of the walls and infest the Hamsters and Guinea Pigs.

The Vet suggested the OTC spray as it is much lower cost then the Revolution, can be also sprayed on their cages and on the carpet about their bins, and I can also safely use it on the cats for flea, and tick protection too.
