Hi XXXXXX,
Just spray 1 -2 sprays per pound on the back and sides.  If you have ear
mites then also spray some into the ears and on the top of the neck.
Usually 1 spray per pound works just fine.  The spray version of
Frontline last for 30 days.

You can use Frontline (spray or spot on) to keep the ticks off your
ferrets.  I do not know any product that prevents mosquito bites;
however, heartworm disease is something to also worry about if you are
in a high mosquito area.

In addition to Dr. Murray's comments, you may want to try a dilute solution
of Avon's Skin-so-soft as a non-toxic way to diminish mosquito bites (both
on you and your ferrets).  This product has been used by animal owners for
many years, while Avon was still marketing it as a humidifier for human
skin.  I heard that recently, they finally acknowledged its unique ability
to keep mosquitoes at bay.
 
With kindest regards,
Bruce H. Williams, DVM, DACVP
