How it works: Active ingredients include pyrethrins, which are natural organic compounds that have potent insecticidal activity. Piperonyl butoxide and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboxamide are two common synergists, used with insecticides to enhance their activity. S-methoprene is an insect growth regulator, adding to the effort of controlling fleas and ticks.
Cautions: Pesticides can cause sensitivities. If signs occur, bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with large amounts of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately. Excessive salivation, and ear and paw flicking can occur, but it’s temporary and not harmful. Read container for other cautions when using.
