Approximately 95% of fleas in a home are in immature stages, allowing them to remain dormant for a long time. That’s why Advantage II kills fleas at all life stages with a one-two punch: Imidacloprid attacks the nervous systems of existing fleas, killing 98-100% of them within two hours. Pyriproxyfen then prevents eggs from hatching, ending the flea lifecycle. Lasting a full month, this squeeze-on topical application actually kills fleas through contact, meaning they don’t have to bite your pet to ingest the treatment and die. Please come by our office or give us a call for further information. Over the counter monthly topical available for cats and dogs.
