The product has a persistent insecticidal efficacy for up to 5 weeks against fleas (_Ctenocephalides spp_.). Although no immediate killing effect against ticks has been demonstrated, the product has shown an acaricidal efficacy against _Dermacentor reticulatus_. If ticks of this species are present when the product is applied, all the ticks may not be killed within the first 48 hours but they will be killed within a week. The product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon.
