I apply 0.1ml per pound of Revolution to my ferrets once a month. It is
cheaper than giving Advantage and Heartgard plus it is more effective
because it kills fleas, ticks, earmites and other mites plus several
types of intestinal worms and also serves as a heartworm preventative.
You should have your vet test for heartworms before you start using it.
