GENERAL INFORMATION
Activyl contains indoxacarb, a member of the oxadiazine chemical
family. When Activyl is ingested by the flea, enzymes within
the flea convert (by bioactivation) the indoxacarb to a more active
molecule. This highly insecticidal metabolite blocks sodium
channels in the flea’s nervous system causing paralysis and death of
the flea. _The product only becomes highly active after _
_contact with flea enzymes within the flea_.
Cessation of feeding, paralysis and death of adult fleas can occur as
soon as 8-12 hours after treatment. Activyl also kills
developing stages of fleas in the environment of treated cats and dogs
and prevents flea eggs from developing into larvae or
biting adults, providing sustained control of new infestations for at
least 4 weeks.
In cats and dogs, indoxacarb is primarily and rapidly metabolised to
inactive compounds. This rapid metabolism is an important
factor in the low toxicity of indoxacarb to mammals and non-target
insects. The combination of bioactivation within the flea
and the increased safety within mammals makes Activyl a unique
product.
