One of our ferrets, Meltdown, has had a severe mite problem that
has caused hair loss wherever she scratched and bit (her tail was
almost entirely bald).
We had heard that insects and arachnids are naturally repelled by
citrus. As a long shot we started treating her tail with a citrus
based product called: "Natural Animal 100% Herbal Dog Coat
Enhancer" [mfged by Ecosafe Products, dist by Gardens Alive, Hwy
48, POB 149, Sunman, IN 47041 ]. Believe it or not the stuff
works. She has stopped pulling her hair out and the tail looks
more like a ferret tail than a rat tail. The stuff also appears
to be a good treatment for ear mites after a bath.
Our vet said that this stuff is extremely safe...
[There's another type that our vet uses specifically for ear mites.
It's actually a soap, but I don't have the name handy - everything's
still in storage]
