Is it ok to use it as a preventative measure? I keep finding little red bites on me like just before last time they had mites so I'm suspicious of our last bale of hay (which is now finished) and just wondering whether it would be an idea to spray them all as a preventative measure or leave their own immune systems to deal with it. They aren't showing any symptoms.
 
i only do mine if showing symtpoms purely because i dont want their bodies to become immune to the ivermectin and not work when i need it to. but every one is differnet. also if the hay is the issue i think id chuck that one and get a new lot (preventioni better than cure and al lthat!!) x
 
The hay's finished now anyway, by the time I realised we'd got through it, we get through a bale in about 3-4 weeks now :shock: Not sure where they are putting it :roll::lol: I might have to start leaving it out on the grass on a tarp for a while again to let the little critters get away. :?

I'll let them fight it off with their immune systems I think and keep a good eye on them. First sign I'll use the spray.
