Chicken Mites on my Cat:

Diatomaceous Earth doesn't work. I can't get them to eat brewer's yeast. I'm now using Kleen Green green by natural Genesis. The chicken mites are in my apartment. I've done all I know to do for many months. I got rid of my bed most of what I own I dress out of the freezer, I shower twice a day, I use Kleen Green on my cats and my apartmen. The vets don't have answers Revolution wasn't enough, Advantage Multi even with the Kleen Green doesn't work it's impossible to get rid of every single transparent chicken mite. I could use some better advice. Thanks!

Theresa

The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.

About Theresa

Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.

Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.

Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and  fueled  her quest for the knowledge held in lore,  and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

Hello Rose,

Please read up on bird mites here: http://www.birdmites.org/

I have read of accounts of humans using the horse or dog product Freedom 45 effectively on demodex mites in humans - you might consider googling that product, however I would NOT recommend it for your cats.

How were you using the DE? Did you dust the cats with it?

Please report back!

Bug MD is excellent for bird mites. I had a really bad infestation as I live in the woods. Used Diamatecous earth around the house outside. Finally have them under control. The cats are no longer running around trying to get away from them.

The only thing I have found that does a real good job is BugMD I buy it once a month 3.7 ounce concentrate it is affordable I mix it with 32 ounces of water put in a sprayer, spray around home and it has been great. I live in the woods and have always had a real problem with bird mites in my house and I have four cats that really suffered. This cured it.
