about ear mites in cats including what they are, how to identify them, and how to treat them.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Your Cat Have Ear Mites?<\/h2>\n<p>Cats get ear wax just like we do, but if your cats ears develop a dark, foul-smelling <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/ear-discharge-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discharge<\/a> accompanied by <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/cat-itching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">itching<\/a> and inflammation, it could be something more.<\/p>\n<p>Ear mites \u2013 also known as <em>Otodectes cynotis<\/em> \u2013 are microscopic parasites that live in and around the ears of cats. They\u2019re barely visible to the naked eye, though you may see them as tiny white specks if you look very closely. You\u2019re more likely to notice the symptoms of ear mites than the mites themselves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vetericyn.com\/blog\/signs-and-symptoms-of-ear-mites-in-cats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Symptoms of ear mites<\/a> include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brown or reddish-brown discharge<\/li>\n<li>Dark, waxy crust inside or around the ears<\/li>\n<li>Foul odor coming from the ears<\/li>\n<li>Head shaking or excessive scratching<\/li>\n<li>Hair loss around the ears<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ear mites can\u2019t hop or fly, but they can crawl and once they set up shop in your cat\u2019s ears and start to breed, they can be difficult to eradicate.<\/p>\n<p>An adult ear mite lives for about 2 months and lays eggs continuously throughout its lifespan. The eggs take about three weeks to mature to adulthood at which point they start laying eggs of their own. Not only do ear mites breed quickly, but they are very contagious and can be passed to other pets in your household. Transmission to humans, however, is incredibly rare.<\/p>\n<p>Before you treat your cat for ear mites, pay a visit to your veterinarian to confirm that\u2019s what it is. A common <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/cat-ear-infection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cat ear infection<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msdvetmanual.com\/cat-owners\/ear-disorders-of-cats\/otitis-externa-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">otitis externa<\/a>, is often confused for ear mites.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" data-cliversesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a74rv9kqiMM?si=Gd7Ty6b1ah76olSq\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Get Rid of Ear Mites?<\/h2>\n<p>Once your veterinarian diagnoses your cat with ear mites, there are a few treatment options available. In most cases, however, treatment begins with a thorough cleaning of the cat\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n<p>When cleaning your cat\u2019s ears, it\u2019s a good idea to choose a high-quality ear cleaner designed specifically for that purpose. Avoid products that contain irritating ingredients like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and follow the instructions carefully.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend a cat ear cleaner like <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fvirbac-epi-otic-advanced-ear-cleaner%2Fdp%2F52807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner for Cats and Dogs<\/a>. It\u2019s a safe, non-irritating formula made with salicylic acid to help gently remove debris and excessive wax from the ear canal. Shake the product well then apply liberally into the cat\u2019s ear canal. Rub the base of the ear to distribute the fluid then wipe the interior of the ear clean with cotton swab or a clean cloth.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning your cat\u2019s ears removes anything that might prevent topical medications from reaching the mites. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/cornell-feline-health-center\/health-information\/feline-health-topics\/ear-mites-tiny-critters-can-pose-major-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Veterinarians generally recommend<\/a> a ear mite medicine that contains an antiparasitic like ivermectin or cat-safe insecticides like pyrethins as the active ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you\u2019re treating one pet in your household for ear mites, it\u2019s best to treat all of them. Even if none of your other pets exhibit an active infection, they could transmit the mites back to your cat and restart the cycle. You may also need to repeat treatment for long-term management of ear mites.<\/p>\n<p>Another option for getting rid of ear mites is to use a flea or tick medication. While many of these products aren\u2019t labeled for ear mites, they can be an effective treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Our top pick for the best over-the-counter flea medication is <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fsentry-fiproguard-flea-tick-spot%2Fdp%2F56413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Sentry Fiproguard Flea and Tick Topical for Cats<\/a>.

Customers found the product worked well, for the most part, though there are some comments about the hole in the tip being too small.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What We Liked:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide are active ingredients<\/li>\n<li>Soothing aloe relieves itching and inflammation<\/li>\n<li>Easy to administer, just 5 drops in each ear twice daily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn\u2019t Like:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Pesticides like pyrethrins may cause a reaction in some cats<\/li>\n<li>Not recommended for kittens under 12 weeks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#2 <\/span>Runner Up: <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fadams-medication-ear-mites-dogs-cats%2Fdp%2F191456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Adams Medication for Ear Mites for Dogs &amp; Cats<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101292 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Adams-Medication-for-Ear-Mites-for-Dogs-Cats.jpg\" alt=\"Adams Medication for Ear Mites for Dogs &amp; Cats\" width=\"287\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fadams-medication-ear-mites-dogs-cats%2Fdp%2F191456\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$9.99 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$9.99 At Chewy<\/a>\n                        \n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0057PMFYW\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"039079090247\" data-price=\"$12 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$12 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>This ear mite remedy is similar to the previous product but contains lanolin as an additional soothing ingredient.

The trouble with ear mites is that the symptoms are similar to the symptoms of other ear infections like otitis media.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you tell the difference between an ear mite infestation and an ear infection?<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, you should know that ear infections are relatively uncommon in cats (though the same can\u2019t be said for dogs). Ear infections are typically characterized by inflammation of the external ear canal and may be accompanied by itching, head shaking, discharge, and foul odor.<\/p>\n<p>Sound familiar? Ear mites and ear infections cause similar symptoms which isn\u2019t surprising given ear mites are a potential cause for cat ear infections.<\/p>\n<p>Cat ear infections can also be caused by <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/allergies-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allergies<\/a>, bacteria, yeast, or <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/fungal-infections-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fungal infections<\/a> but the most common cause is ear mites. These tiny parasites feed on the wax buildup and dead skin cells inside the ear, all the while causing significant irritation. Ear infections caused by yeast and bacteria are not contagious, but ear mites definitely are, so prompt treatment is important.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your cat\u2019s symptoms are caused by ear mites or another type of ear infection, it\u2019s not a problem you should ignore. Not only can these issues cause significant discomfort (even pain), but the condition can worsen to the point that it causes damage to the internal structure of your cat\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always worth taking your cat to the vet just to be safe. Your vet will use an otoscope to look inside your cat\u2019s ear canal and may take samples of discharge to check for mites.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Choose the Best Ear Mite Treatment for Your Cat<\/h2>\n<p>Every cat\u2019s situation is different, so every cat parent will be looking for different things in their ear mite treatment. Before buying, consider the following:<\/p>\n<h3>Affordability vs Effectiveness<\/h3>\n<p>Luckily, there are cheap and effective over-the-counter ear mite treatments. However, these do tend to take longer to work than prescription medications, and in some instances they don\u2019t remove the ear mites completely.<\/p>\n<p>For a faster solution, you\u2019ll want to look at prescription options such as Revolution.<\/p>\n<h3>Treatment vs Prevention<\/h3>\n<p>Before deciding on an ear mite treatment, consider whether your cat is likely to get ear mites again. This will help you decide whether a long-term prevention medication is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Cats are likely to get ear mites repeatedly if they go outdoors, especially around unknown animals such as stray cats in your neighborhood. They\u2019ll also be regularly exposed to other parasites such as fleas and ticks.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve just rescued a cat who you plan to keep indoors, they\u2019re very unlikely to contract ear mites again. The exception is if you have a dog or other pet who does go outside regularly and isn\u2019t on preventative medications.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Pests<\/h3>\n<p>Treating a cat who only has ear mites is sometimes different from treating a cat who also has fleas or other parasites. Depending on the parasites, you may be able to find a singular treatment that kills them all.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, many flea and tick medications also kill ear mites. Your veterinarian may recommend using one of these instead of a treatment that only kills the mites.<\/p>\n<p>Or, your veterinarian may recommend two or more medications to eradicate all of the parasites.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-Active Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>Alongside the active ingredients that kill ear mites (typically pyrethrins, ivermectin, or selamectin), you might also want to look for non-active ingredients to soothe your cat\u2019s irritated ears. These include aloe and lanolin.<\/p>\n<h2>Are There Any Herbal Remedies for Ear Mites?<\/h2>\n<p>While pyrethrin-based ear mite medication is highly effective, some pet owners prefer more natural options. Giving your cat\u2019s ears a good cleaning could be enough to keep minor infestations under control, but a little extra help never hurts.<\/p>\n<p>Apple cider vinegar is a popular ingredient in natural remedies for humans and pets alike. It is highly acidic and has natural antibacterial properties. To use apple cider vinegar for ear mites, mix one part apple cider vinegar with one part water and apply to your cat\u2019s ears once or twice a day. Use just a few drops and rub the base of your cat\u2019s ears to distribute it before wiping away the excess.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid home remedies using <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/are-essential-oils-safe-for-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential oils as these can be toxic for cats<\/a>. You can, however, try warming coconut oil and adding 8 to 10 drops to your cat\u2019s ears before massaging it in.<\/p>\n<h3>Relevant Articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/ear-mites-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ear Mites in Cats: Causes, Symptoms &amp; Treatment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/cat-ear-infection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cat Ear Infection: Causes, Symptoms, &amp; Treatment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/ear-discharge-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ear Discharge in Cats: Causes, Symptoms, &amp; Treatment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n            <style>\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3{\n                    position: relative;\n                    background: #FFFFFF;\n                    box-shadow: 0px 9px 26px rgba(198, 198, 198, 0.25);\n                    border-radius: 15px;\n                    padding: 24px 110px 24px 110px;\n                    margin-bottom: 30px;\n                    transition: all 0.4s ease;\n\n                    font-weight: 700!important;\n                    font-size: 20px!important;\n                    line-height: 105.8%!important;\n                    color: #373737;\n                    cursor: pointer;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3.active{\n                    background: #EDF1F7;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3 .question-angle{\n                    display: flex;\n                    width: 24px;\n                    height: 24px;\n                    justify-content: center;\n                    align-items: center;\n                    position: absolute;\n                    top: calc(50% -
