Sweet Itch or Queensland Itch:

The application of one of Monoi AO Silk from Monoi Australia is effective against a horse's nightmare: Queensland Itch, as well known as Summer Itch or Sweet Itch.
A horse owner reported that within 2 days of the application of Monoi AO Silk, the horse's irritation was completely gone, no more new bites and itchiness. Within 7 days all infections were gone and the hair completely regrown.
To the satisfaction of the horse's owner, this was the cheapest and most effective treatment for Queensland Itch (Summer Itch or Sweet Itch), that she experienced.

Sweet itch preventative treatments can vary from $90 to $200 per month, from internal preventative treatments on offer to just topical applications. Prevention of sweet itch comes back down to making sure midges or mosquitoes do not bite the skin creating allergies or itching.

Now, some food for thought: as demonstrated on this website the remarkable skin moisturising, hair repairing and now insect repelling properties of Monoi de Tahiti, all animal's lovers spending thousands of dollars on their animal, hair, skin and comfort, you could actually be saving yourself a lot of money by using Monoi de Tahiti and still achieving the results desired.

In fact it is common in Tahiti for Monoi de Tahiti to be mixed with citronella, basil or tamanu oil, as they enhance the insect repellent properties and efficiency.
The evidence of Monoi de Tahiti’s properties as a natural insect repellent can be extended to the animal world too.

After all horses, dogs, goats or cats can suffer from the same effects and irritation from insects bites, therefore can benefit from this property, at a far less expensive price. As all animal owners are fully aware, when it come to animal products, although being sometimes the same as human the price is triple for no apparent reasons.
Treat your horse, dog or cat: use Monoi de Tahiti for their skin or hair treatment and as a natural insect repellent.
Should your favourite animal get bitten, infected, itch or get sore, you apply tamanu oil on the wound, as tamanu oil's properties for skin repair, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory properties can benefit your four legged friend.

Would it take much need of convincing to extend this principle to issues like bed's mites or dog's mites itch and similar related occurrences?

Queensland itch is also know as sweet itch or summer itch.

It is a skin condition in animals, primarily horses but can be experienced by cows, goats, dogs and other animals, caused by the bites of a tiny midge. These flies are called biting midges, gnats, sand flies, no-see-ums and punkies. The skin ailment is the result of an allergic reaction to the bites of the midge, creating itching, scabbing and loss of hair caused be infections.
The response to bites varies from animals - some react strongly with open, weeping sores while others hardly react at all. The sores are caused by constant rubbing and biting to relieve the itch. These same flies are biting people too, producing intensely itchy lesions as well.

These tiny biting midges are nearly invisible to the human eye, they develop in wet, marshy or swampy areas, the larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic. Midge infestations tend to be very irregular across fields, high in some areas while absent from other parts. Lack of appropriate drainage will make it the elimination of midges nearly impossible. Instead it is best to use repellents to protect horses from bites and prevent allergic reactions.
Queensland itch is also known as Sweet itch, kasen (Japan), dhobie itch (Philippines) and summer itch.
