I have heard people on this board and read on guinea lynx that Revolution can be used to treat mites. Can it also be used to treat fleas? Or prevent them? Last year we had a horrible outbreak, we have 2 acres w/various wildlife that comes and goes. Last night I had a flea jump on my foot in the house, this weekend we are treating the house and yard like we did last yr. Hopefully this yr won't be as bad. Can I put Revolution on the pigs? If so how do I draw up 0.07556849384 cc? That is the recommened dose on guinea lynx for mites, would it be the same for fleas?

Yes, Revolution treats fleas--I would use the same dose.

I find the easiest way is to empty the Revolution tube into a small vial/bottle and draw it out with a needle.

Thanks so much, I figured it would work. Thats what our dog is on monthly. How much per pig? 0.07556849384 cc is the recommened dose for a 2lb pig, thats like 2 drops right? I do plan on putting it in a syringe, but I don't have anything marked for that small of a dose.

It's best to use a 1cc syringe.
