Mite Help. Frontline?

[spinifecs]

Hey guys, so recently discovered my pit kept bluey's have mites! Little buggers! Anyway not a huge infestation but as its the first time dealing with them it has sent me into a determined panic! Have treated with frontline whilst waiting for my TOD to arrive and am still seeing mites alive on the newspaper (in tubs atm with newspaper). Am I correct in saying that frontline is absorbed into the skink and fed to the mite resulting in death? When initially treating I was under the impression it was a contact kill leading to pessimism when live mites were still observed? How often should the skinks be treated like this? All adults, 400g plus.

Thanks for your help guys! Happy Aus Day!!

hmmm,this is different to when my son swapped a python and ended up with mites but you might try 1 of the most effective treatments and rub olive oil onto your blueys,it drowns the mites
