How Advantage® II Works

Use Advantage® II monthly to kill fleas on your cat. One of its active ingredients, imidacloprid, acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. The other active ingredient of Advantage® II is pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator (IGR) that, in combination with imidacloprid, kills all flea life stages on the treated cat and its surroundings. 

 

Protecting your cat from fleas is important

Part of keeping your cat healthy means year-round flea protection. That’s because flea bites may:

  • Cause discomfort for your cat
  • Cause irritation, which may lead to skin infections
  • In some cases, cause an allergic skin reaction
  • Transmit other disease-causing organisms, including tapeworms

 

Advantage® II:

Advantage® II kills all flea life stages following contact with an Advantage® II treated pet and protects against flea infestations for up to one month.  

  • Kills fleas through contact so fleas don't need to bite to die
  • Kills fleas within 12 hours of initial application
  • Kills reinfesting fleas (e.g., newly hatched fleas jumping back on the cat) within 2 hours
  • Is waterproof

Millions of pet owners have used effective Advantage® Topical Solution to control flea infestation on their pets. Now its successor, Advantage® II, kills even more flea life stages.
