Anyone know where I can get some as the site that sells it will only ship to the US????? Whats up with that?

I would use Black Knight I think its the best on the market, its a little more money but well worth it!

Proexotics sell it for 20$ a can.

Here is a good page they wrote up on mites and black knight..

As far as parazap I can only find it being sold in US and in Europe...sorry

xetox,
Para-zap is used to treat internal parasites, not external (mites, ticks, etc) like BK...

jakejeff,
It can be very difficult to have medications/pesticides/chemicals/herbals shipped across borders, due to touchy legal issues, and differences in approval from country to country. Many companies don't want to risk getting nabbed. I don't know the specifics on Para-zap, but I'm guessing it would fit into that generalization. Hopefully someone else will have some better info for you

My bad

I did not really look to see what it was

But I did try to find some that was sold in canada with no luck@!

Panacur won't prevent, just kill active infestations so it's not something you want to use regularly. Some folks use it once or twice a year just in case there are worms but that doesn't stop them from picking up worms a week or two later if they are exposed.

I use and like Parazap but it's not a cureall by any means. It's not effective against flagellates and protozoans so there's lots of common critters it doesn't touch. I've found it to be really great with pinworms and hookworms though.

What are you suggestions to use...what the best to use to get rid of most anything they may have if u just want to do it like once or twice a years and a precautionary matter?

Fenbendazole (Panacur) is a relatively safe medication to use, when administered properly in the correct dosages in animals that are strong enough. I shotgun treat my animals as I feel needed with it. It has a good safety margin, as well as it isn't too harsh on their systems, but covers a broad spectrum.

Where can you get it, do u have a link?

You can get it at most farm supply stores. In the states places such as Bean Farm also carry it. Take care.
