Actions | Imidacloprid is a chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine synthesised from the nitromethylene class of compounds. It binds to the insect's nicotinyl receptor sites on the postsynaptic neurones, disrupting normal nerve transmission. Imidacloprid kills adult fleas (Ctenocephalides sp.) rapidly, and larval flea stages in the pet's surroundings are killed following contact with the treated pet.Permethrin is a type I pyrethroid insecticide. Pyrethroids affect the voltage gated sodium channels in vertebrates and nonvertebrates. They are open channel blockers, affecting the channel by slowing both its activation and inactivation properties. The prolongation of the sodium channel leads to a stable hyperexcitation state. |
