Does this product also kill ear mites?

don't think this product works on ear mites; claims to kill fleas only. We have used Animax ointment which seemed to work well for ear mites.

Advantage II does NOT kill ear mites. The Bayer product for that is Advantage-Multi (or Advocate). Both products work well for fleas. The Advantage-Multi is stronger and contains an additional medication to treat for intestinal parasites, heartworm and ear mites. It is effective, yet it takes a toll on some cats. If you purchase the larger (purple) vials because your feline is just over 9 pounds; I would suggest not using the full amount. Our medium-weight cat has exhibited significant lethargy for a couple of days following a treatment.I have used both of these products on multiple felines for close to ten years. They are effective and safe as long as you are careful. Advantage II does NOT kill ear mites. The Bayer product for that is Advantage-Multi (or Advocate). Both products work well for fleas.

I can't say for sure, but the package description says it's strictly for fleas.

Not as far as I can tell. One of our cats has them, and we use the gunk the Vet gives us. This did not guard against them or get rid of them.

Actually, it does not. We found that out the hard way when one of our cats got ear mites. Our vet prescribed Revolution, which is the only flea treatments that kills ear mites, ut it does require a prescription, so I bought it through 1-800 Petmeds to whom I had to have my vet send the Rx. We used Revolution for a few months until the ear mite problem was solved, then went back to the Advantage. Since then, no problems with ear mites and the Advantage has been working well. Revolution is so much more expensive than Advantage that, unless you need to specifically treat ear mites, I think Advantage is the way to go. Just in case, however, we keep several doses of Revolution in reserve in case the ear mite problem re-surfaces.

It does kill spider mites. It produces small amount of Ozone to kill any bacteria and microscopic organism. It also eliminates any cooking smell and bathroom odor. Run only few minutes until you smell ozone in the air. Ozone smells like mild bleach. Don't leave it on and leave the house unless the house is very large. I normally fog the house with insecticide to kill spider and mites.

Yes, it should. You have to completely clean and treat their enclosure also and remember to re treat a few times a week apart to kill newly hatched mites.

This stuff. I bought it just for spider mites, I applied it twice, a couple weeks in between. It leaves kind of a white-ish residue on the plant. Doesn't hurt the plant, but it killed all my spider mites including the eggs. Just be sure to spray underneath the leaves, since that's where most of them live.

It says it kills them. I haven't used it for them specifically but it works for everything I have used it on.

I don't know but I suspect that it does not kill the flea eggs or possible direct contact with the egg is required. It required several applications as the fleas came back several times but in smaller numbers each time.

I don't use this product for fleas but I do use it for rat mites, and it works, so I would assume that it works on fleas also. I know that it must be sprayed on them directly and it causes them to molt early and not lay eggs. They say it is not toxic and not harmful to people and pets. I have never had a problem with it.hope that helps...

I currently have this product. On the liable all I see is, trizEDTA, (tromethamine USP, disodium EDTA dihydrate) and deionized water. My German Shepherd gets severe ear infections in his one ear. So I have to clean them every day to keep him good! This stuff seems to work great. Just at vet and he said his ears look fantastic.

I have been using it to combat ear infections. It takes a while to work, but it is working. A friend used it on a bite that her dog got (spider or something) that the dog was chewing on--she just slathered it on the irritated spot and it was gone overnight.

Mange is a mite and for it you need something to kill and smother the mites that burrow under the skin. Now my dog was originally misdiagnosed at the vet for mange which she of course didn't have so the medicine for it didn't work. I know girls in rescue have been using neem oil for mites but I don't know if I would trust it. I would take a dog to the vet for that. This shampoo is for fungal and microbial skin problems and just happens to work for my dogs staph infection in her skin.

Alan,Since I'm not an entomologist, I couldn't say with any certainty how it would affect bird mites, but it took care of my flea problem very nicely. I would contact Vet-Kem, Siphotrol's manufacturer, for that information. Also, your local veterinarian may have some ideas.Respectfully,Scott S.

Yes! this product DOES kill flea eggs also! Now, I will say in my experience, you may need to apply this product to the animal as well as floor, furniture, and bedding a second time in order to be sure the eggs are really treated and to catch any "sneaky" ones that may slip by. It is really very effective and economical.

This product does not even work on bed bugs. Will it kill dust mites? I do not know. Does it kill bedbugs no it does not. Hope this helps

This is medication intended to clear up ear infections. The instructions state not to clean ears while using this product or the enzymatic action will not work. Ask your veterinarian to recommend the mildest canine ear cleaner to use for a dog that does not have ear problems. There are also good ear cleaning solutions here on Amazon as well as online stores like 1800petmeds.

The most common ear mite (as well as mange mite) treatments currently use the antiparasitics ivermectin and selamectin, usually as topical preparations. Ivermectin is available as a direct water-based liquid that is squeezed into the ear canal and massaged at the base of the ear to distribute the medication. Selamectin is available as a once-a-month preparation that can be applied to the animal's skin, which prevents mite infestation over that time. Hope this helps

This product has so many uses. I can not confirm it will kill bird mites. You can add it to detergent. It is very strong, so use a little at first.
