Vicks is found in most stores, and generic is much less expensive. Here is a link for it:

Most people use vaseline, and Nustock cream with sulfur as it’s active ingredient in a pine oil base, works well to kill leg mites. It has to be used regularly. Ivermectin pour on is commonly used as well, but requires an egg withdrawal time. Dosage is 0.1 ml of the 5 mg per ml for each 2 pounds of weight. It can be expensive.

Ivermectin is expensive, yup! Luckily has a long shelf life of about two years.

Is that the 5% stuff? The formula I use comes from both someone here and Bitchin Chickens site as I had to know how to apply it using an eyedropper.

1 mg/kg = 0.09 ml lb.
1 eyedropper drop is 0.05 ml

Mine get 1 drop to 3 drops, on their skin of the backside of their neck, depending on size.
