You need to get PAM (Provent a mite) it will eradicates mites at all stages of development http://www.pro-products.com/index.ph...d=53&Itemid=59

Other products found in pet stores will not treat all stages of development which will lead to re-infestation.

Hi,

Remember to check around his eyes and in his nostrils and heatpits to see if you can see any more mites.

If you do a tiny spot of dish soap in a container with warm water (around 85f ) can help drown some of the little beggars.

Keep the water shallow (about half way up his body is safest ) and never leave him unattended in it - we had someone lose their BP while soaking unattended. :(

You can rub him down with damp paer towels to get some of them as well if he really hates the bath idea.

Once the Provent a mite arrives remember it is vital to follow the instructions exactly to keep everythin safe. :gj:
