Advantage Flea Control
Jul 16, 2007 in Advantage
Advantage kills and prevents fleas. It’s available in 4, 6, and 12 month supplies for all sizes of dogs and cats. Advantage Flea Control stops the flea life cycle and is a effective water resistant flea medicine.
Advantage® is a topical flea adulticide, which means it is applied to your pet’s skin, and kills fleas at the adult stage in their life cycle.
Advantage Flea Control contains the active ingredient Imidacloprid; the first compound of a new chemical group to be used for flea control. Advantage has a unique mode of action that kills fleas on contact. Imidacloprid acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage also contains benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol helps Advantage spread quickly over the skin of the pet. Both substances are safe for you and your pet.
The Best in Flea Prevention
With the first application, Advantage kills 98 - 100% of fleas on a pet within 12 hours. New fleas jumping onto a treated pet will die within 2 - 8 hours of contact.
Applied monthly, Advantage kills adult fleas on contact:
Fastest topical adulticide on the market
Stops fleas from returning.
Advantage costs about 40 cents a day. That’s a small price to ensure a flea-free pet and home.
Consider the alternative - remember, one flea can lay over 2,000 eggs in your home and live on your pet for several months
