    How to deal with mites? (UK)

    Hi all,
    The other day I noticed a small black bug on Cinnamon, literally tiny maybe 1mm across. I got it off him and squished it, and when I asked the vet about it he said to wait before doing any treatments until I saw another one.
    Well, I've seen another one So now I want to treat him. Problem is, I have no idea where to start. I live in England, what products would be best to use? What do I do?? I really have no idea where to start

    Usually the treatment I've heard of is:


    • 1 oz Ivermectin
    • 32 oz Water
    • 3-4 drops of Dawn


    But I don't think the UK has access that on a cursory Google peek so...

    Callington's? Reviews seem good.
