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!

My cat had some really strange mites even my vet had no clue, they stuck up and out like sharp claws. Thankfully she was a good natured cat as I bathed her with mild solutions, I continued web searches and found a remedy. I mixed lavender oil and a citrus/I chose lemon juice and mixed water soaked her well and let her run as she wanted, the next day I gave her a good bath and have never seen these mites again.The previous owner said she had this problem for many years. It's been almost two years and finally she is free and happy, rather than uncomfortable 24/7.

This is for Ted, if the editors can forward it. Recently l stumbled across Australian poultry houses using an effective preventative for the red mite used in their chicken's water dish. It's called Red Stop Solution, and contains, tansy, thyme and burdock. Now Tansy can kill you, so sparing daily use can only be done using the extract, not the oil. This combination makes the chickens blood taste bad to the mites and is curing the problem, since the mites can't feed and starve to death. l know you were working with some nuns on ingestion of something to make yourself taste bad to the mites, so maybe this is it. Tansy has historically been used to kill parasites, treat hearts, skin problems and several other uses.
Bird Mite Remedies Linda (Brisbane, Australia) on 04/24/2013
Great to hear so much good advice!! I thoughtI had fleas from a friends cat, and tried all the usual things to eliminate them, getting increasingly desperate and more chemical, I used 'bombs' twice and was still being bitten. Saw Dr who said she thought it was a mild case of shingles!! But I had felt them biting me so did further googling. Realised that the wild birds we had been feeding would sit on our garden furniture, which I then sat on, and sometimes dried the laundry on. The mite must have fallen off them. Now I've made that connection things should improve. I have also put diatomaceous earth all around my bed and in my bed after I get up[dont breathe the powder in!! ] I sit in my gym's dry sauna for at least 10 mins every day, with the clothes I wore, and the heat seems to kill them on my body. I vacuum every day, and wash and tumble dry all my clothes and bedding every day as well. Last night I sprayed my bed and myself with a DEET spray, but don't want to do that too often! But no bites today. Will keep you posted! Bye the way spoke to the council and they ar convinced that mites cannot live without birds for more than 2 weeks, and that people who say they do are 'being dramatic'!! Amazing, has he not read these posts???

Ear Mite Remedy - Perfection. Here is one I heard from a vet....who also admitted they will never tell you this in the office since it will cause them to lose out on some profit. This worked for my male adult cat who would never let me near his head - ever. Take the flea and tick medication (I cannot for the life of me remember which brand I used) and put one drop and one drop only in each ear. I did this for my cat, literally all I did was put one drop in each ear, no rubbing, no rinsing, nothing. The ear mites disappeared, never came back again, and he was a brand new cat that just loved attention! Give a try and see for yourself!
