TREATING FEATHER MITES For those of us that own heavily feathered horses, we know how difficult it can be to treat and manage Feather Mites. The two main problems we face are firstly not being able to see the mites and secondly, those beautiful feathers are the ideal habitat and breeding grounds for these critters to live and thrive. Feather Mites are microscopic parasites that live on the skin of horses amongst the feathers. They are invisible to the naked eye and the first we know our horse has them is constant stamping of the feet or chewing and rubbing the lower legs. By this time the mites are well established and can be extremely difficult to treat. It must be noted that Feather Mites have a 42 day cycle and any attempt to successfully eliminate infestation must be continued well beyond this period. Even once you have successfully treated your horse, they are prone to re-infestation simply through contact with other horses, sharing or borrowing grooming kit and even from hay and bedding. Farriers Equine Care produce two products that when used together offer the best outcome when treating Feather Mites. A Spray and a Shampoo which both contain Biomethrin, a derivative of the Chrysanthemum plant family and is approved for use on horses and donkeys. Biomethrin works by coming into direct contact with the Mites and paralyses their nervous system. This renders them unable to move and they die within 24 hours. Farriers Biosect Spray is used to initially treat Feather Mites and should be reapplied 10 days after initial treatment to catch any newly hatched eggs Ingredients Peppermint & Eucalyptus Essential Oil
