Mites can cause skin irritation, itchiness, powdery and flaky deposits and sometimes scabs. A
severe infestation can result in other health issues such as anaemia and immune system
issues.
Vetafarm developed Origins Insect & Mite Spray to provide quick and easy treatment of mites
and lice and the animal environment. It contains the active ingredients Permethrin; which is
responsible for the instant knockdown effect, Methoprene; which is a growth regulator for all
lifestages of insects and mites which prevents the growth of insects for up to 6 weeks and
Piperonyl butoxide which is a synergist (increases the effectiveness of the pesticide).
When treating for external parasites it is important to also treat the environment (e.g. cages
and enclosures, huts, logs) to prevent re-infestation and kill any mites that may be hiding in
these areas.
