We are having the same problem Alisa Richey wrote you about. We cannot get around my sons horses head. You have to take the bridle apart. she will not let you touch the ears. I can massage her head next to her ear and she acts as tho it relaxs her as if they itch inside. I have heard that mineral oil works is this true?

The best thing I have found that works is using repelex concentrate full strength. Either w/ cotton or a rag, saturate, then place in the ear, then massgae the ear from the outside. What ever is in there is now dead. Do this for a couple of days or until you notice a difference. You should by day 2 or 3. I have never had to this for more than 5 days. I have always used this to clean my horses and dogs ears out and have never had a problem w/ ticks or mites.

You will probably need someone to assist you and twitch your horse to get the meds. down in there. WATCH OUT after you put it in she may thrash her head violently and you don’t want to get hurt.
This is how my vet and i treated my whole herd.

I had horse which had a reaction to the ear tick bites. It was the worst tie up I had ever seen. The horses muscles where as hard as wood. Horse had to be hospitalized at vet hospital.
