Hi I have 3 wild pals who all sleep in the same nest. (Mama and two babies) Mama is super itchy lately and i have some revolution, but i havent been outside when she comes around to apply it. (i see her on my squirrel cam scratching incessantly though.) their nest is in my deck, and they say hi and chirp to me through the slats when i walk over them (⁠*⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠*⁠)⁠♡

im wondering if i put a couple drops.of.revolution into the nest, would it effectively treat all 3 of them?

thanks for any input

I've used it on wilds to successfully treat mange.
I take half a pecan ONE drop only of revolution let it soak in for a few minutes then let the squirrel eat the nut. I repeat in 4 weeks by then usually they are cleared up if not one more dose in four more weeks.
Trick is making sure it's the same squirrel.
In your case not sure you would know who's who in WHOSVILLE ��
I Doubt treating the nest would work but others may know.

CORRECTION:
REVOLUTION SHOULD ONLY BE Dosed EVERY 30 DAYS NOT Every 2 WEEKS 👍

hHaa i have no trouble telling them apart, the problem would be how terribly pick they all are :flash3

they dont love pecans, if its too big of a piece, theyll just go.bury it. avocado has to be the perfect ripeness. squirrel blocks are a big no. so.actually getting them to eat it is tougher, especially since they probably wont be keen on the taste of medicine

ok , thankfully it was nice out today and i was able to give them all a drop on a snack. just in time too because mama is starting to lose some fur on her neck..

hopefully i put enough on. giving them any kind of medicine makes me so anxious.

One drop is fine 👍

its been 10 days.
mama is losing fur on her face and she seems really bummed out, still itchy. do you think this is a normal timeframe for revolution to start working ?

the kids seem ok- no fur loss. not scratching anymore really
