How does Advantage® II for cats work?
Advantage® II for cats combines two active ingredients:
- Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system - paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
- Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and larvae.
This combination plays a crucial role in treating and preventing infestations, because:
- In an existing infestation, you might only be aware of the adult
fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are
found on the pet.
- Immature flea life stages which live in the pet's environment
consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to
the naked eye.
