Many of the products we use to kill fleas or other parasites also kill ear mites. Household flea spray is effective against ear mites in the home but never use it directly on an animal. There are many products on the market that claim to kill ear mites, but those available without a prescription are usually less effective than a licenced product from your vet. Once a day ear cleaning will help clear out any excess wax and debris from your dog’s ears. Ear mites can survive in the environment for months so you will need to spray your home, and hot wash pet items such as bedding and grooming equipment. Regularly treating your dog for fleas is the best way to prevent ear mites. Never use cotton buds to clean your dog’s ears.

Apple cider vinegar has natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help eliminate ear mites and soothe the affected area. Mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water in a bowl. Soak a cotton ball in the solution and gently clean your dog's ears. Using apple cider vinegar regularly can help prevent ear mites from returning. Coconut oil is known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it an excellent remedy for dog ear mites. Warm a small amount of coconut oil and apply it to the inside of your dog's ears using a cotton ball. Tea tree oil has natural antiseptic and antifungal properties and can be used to combat ear mites. Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil. Aloe vera gel is known for its soothing and healing properties. Apply a small amount of pure aloe vera gel to the inside of your dog's ears to alleviate itching and promote healing.
