How does Frontline Plus work?
Frontline Plus contains a combination of two active ingredients, Fipronil and S-methoprene, this combination of treatments targets different stages of the flea life cycle, improving efficacy. Fleas and ticks are killed within 24 hours of contact with a treated pet.
Fipronil targets adult fleas and ticks. It works by affecting the central nervous system and creating irregular uncontrolled activity before death. For this reason, adult fleas may become more visible prior to death as the fipronil causes irregular movement and fleas are seen to ‘dance’ and lose their instinct to hide.
S-Methoprene is an insect growth regulator and works by inhibiting the development of immature stages of insects. It works by mimicking juvenile hormones, causing impaired development and death of the immature flea. S-Methoprene prevents the contamination of the treated pet’s environment with the immature stages of fleas.
