"This kills adult ear mites, only. Heavy infestations require repeat treatments. It works! Most people should know how heavy is the infestations... Remove. Kill. Heal. 1.clear....TRESDERM! 2-3 treatments, 7-10 weeks."

— Jessica

"I used Milibite on two kittens, it did not help either. I chose this product over another because the cost. I ended up spending more money because ultimately I to buy the other anyway when this product didn't work."

Bottom Line

Overall a good solution for ear mites in cats. But a vet prescription is recommended. And apply same day when treating all cats, including those only mildly affected or newly adopted.
