Since you're in Canada the easiest medication to get is the Jungle Fizz Tabs Anti-Parasitic stuff. Put 1/4 of a tablet into 1/4c of water and soak the food in that for several hours. Feed once or twice a day for 4-6 days.

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
