It can be.
'Ivomec' active ingredient is
Ivermectin.
Ivermectin and
Moxidectin are both used in products sold as control for internal and external parasites and will treat Air sac mites.
These are both available in drench and on skin product.
For ASM there is an off the shelf product available called
Avimec manufacture by Vetafarm using Ivermectin.
There is an equivalent product available outside of Australia sold as Scatt with the active ingredient being Moxidectin at the same rate.
See other post for here for more info.

Doesn't ivomec have an affect on embryos in eggs? Might need a break when treating. Not 100% sure. I don't let them nest for a week when treating my birds

I've been advised by the aviary I buy my birds from to treat with moxidectin in the water, then again in 3 weeks, then again in 3 months As I have mixed finches and canaries. First dose didn't seem to harm them, none are breeding at the moment, so I want them clear before they do.
