U try the 8 in 1 first. Coz I used Hobo spray useless... then I brought to vet, the vet gave me Front Line spray. 3 sprays once every 3 weeks. For the 8 in 1 hor, i think u can spray more often.
Scary leh, 1st time I hear can kena mites from hay. I'm feeding Oxbow Orchard grass leh... they love. I tried long timothy they dun wan... heng no mites now.

I think i've heard of Mites in hay in other pets forum too. I wonder if there would bea way to externminate all the mites,since they are living thing and the hay isn't.

Geraldo> cannot so many times a day lah.... What does the bottle say?
My vet didn't recommend revolution coz he says it goes into the blood stream. Frontline is just a topical application for milder cases. Unless its vv bad like Faith's case (vanessang's black n white piggy) then need jab.

Revolution is dripped on the animal's back and it goes into the blood stream (absorbed by the body) whereas Frontline doesn't get absorbed, just on surface of the fur.
I think vanssang's pig was found abandoned and the fur was dropping right?
Uhm, I dunno leh, with the Hobo spray I only spray once a day, but it didn't help. Lousy brand ahhh. Maybe you spray twice a day with the 8 in 1?
