In my experience, IVOMEC has done the  best job for the least cost of any 
wormer I have tried.  I use orally it to  worm the dogs and to prevent 
heartworms 
also.  When a couple of drops are  mixed with mineral oil it works great for 
ear mites on the cats.  It  prevents ticks on the dogs when used properly.  It 
can cause some allergic  reactions in collies, so it is used with caution on 
border collies.   

As a note, I mix permethrin with mineral oil 1 oz per qt and put a  "line" 
down the backs of the sheep and the dogs for flies, fleas, and  ticks.  It 
works 
as good as the $125/ gallon stuff.  If I could get  the Insect growth 
regulator again, I would use it  also...
