.➪ Try to eradicate the disease completely, rather than trying merely to control it.
➪Treat all the animals at the same time, to avoid the disease re-infecting animals that have been cured.
➪Treat both infected and healthy animals, as the mites can already be hiding in apparently healthy animals.
➪Keep infected animals away from healthy ones. Avoid infected herds, and do not touch equipment or rubbing spots they may have come into contact with.
