Scan mite resistance to injectables is already well documented.
Dip is not licenced for use through anything other than a dip. SCOPS, AMTRA and VMD have all warned that using dip in an "off label" way like this may lead to scan mites becoming resistant to dip. https://www.fwi.co.uk/livestock/farmers-warned-not-to-use-jetters-or-showers-to-treat-scab

But yes, probably right, given the amount of resistant scab mites reportedly about now.
i know that's why i try not to advise but i'm fed up dipping scabby heavy in-lamb sheep cos folks have pee'd about jabbing them at least twice then ringing me,even the vets have started telling farmers not to bother with the injectables

It hasn’t happened yet, as far as I’m aware, and dipping with OP has been about for a year or two now.
