How do you get rid of mite off a dog?

Asked by Wiki User

First of all you need to make sure you are diagnosing this correctly. You need to take your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. Scabies is technically Sarcoptic Mange caused by a mite. There is another mite that does lots of damage to the dog's skin also & that is called Demodex Mange caused by a mite. A Vet must be the one to diagnose this by doing skin scrapings, then putting them under a microscope to look for mites & if there are mites, to see which one it is. Don't try to treat skin problems like this yourself, no way you can diagnose it correctly. Do your dog a favor and take him or her to be examined by your Veterinarian.

What are scales and mites?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Scales [Coccoidea family] are small insects that mainly survive by parasitically feeding off of a plant's life sustaining sap. But there are some scale insects that specialize in fungal food sources.

Mites [Acarina subclass, Arachnida class] are even smaller than scale insects. In fact, many of them only can be seen with a microscope or magnifying glass. They too are parasitic feeders. Depending upon the mite, the food source may be plant, mold or animal. Despite the generally destructive tendencies of mites, some actually are considered beneficial insects. Specifically, predatory mites eat other mites.

Aphids [Aphidoidea superfamily] tend to be green. But different aphids may be black, brown or pink. They're considered among the most destructive pests of edible plants. One reason lies in their tendency to make the plant sick with viruses at the same time that it takes away the sap that could help the plant fight the sickness. Many of them tend to focus on one kind of plant as a food source. But the green peach aphid [Myzus persicae] isn't picky, and basically considers any plant as a food source.

Does drinking about a cap full of vinegar repel ticks from biting?

A cap full of vinegar would have almost no effect on blood composition as the amount of acid would immediately be neutralized by the buffers in the stomach. So if the blood doesn't change then the ticks not be affected either.

The head will remain inside, and it is very likely that it will actually plant tick babies inside your body. You would have to go to the doctor and remove it; don't try and pry out any part of a tick that is still in your body.

Can ticks fly to other human?

User Avatar

Asked by Kingkiller500

There is no variety of tick that can fly. Ticks wait in tall grass and shrubs, or sometimes in cracks and crevices in the ground, until able to attach to a passing host. Ticks do not jump or fly, and must be in physicl contact for the passing to a host to take place. Sometimes, however, ticks may drop from their perch and fall onto a host.
