Does Revolution kill ticks?
We have been using Revolution on our house rabbits for years, and I always assumed it killed ticks as well. Recently someone told me it is not effective against ticks.

I know it effective against a number of parasites both internal and external.

Yes and No.

Revolution (Selamectin) controls tick infestations only due to the American Dog Tick (Dermacentor variabilis), a tick commonly found on dogs. There are other common species of ticks that are not killed or controlled by REVOLUTION. Your veterinarian can recommend appropriate products to control or kill ticks common to your area. Source

But...

It’s not effective against the deer tick that causes Lyme disease. source

So yes it kills some but not all ticks.
