Spot-on treatments are pre-measured doses in single use pipettes, which you empty onto the back of your dog’s neck. In contrast to neonicotinoids such as acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam, which are absorbed through the skin to some extent, fipronil is not absorbed substantially through the skin.

They consistently kill over 90% of fleas and ticks on the dogs taking part, and keep them flea and tick free for at least four weeks.Acute studies of estuarine animals using oysters, mysids, and sheepshead minnows show that fipronil is highly acutely toxic to oysters and sheepshead minnows, and very highly toxic to mysids. Don’t use a fipronil for dogs product if you have already used another flea or tick treatment in the last month. Beaphar FIPROtec Spray is an effective pump action spray to control fleas, ticks and biting lice on kittens, puppies, cats and dogs.

Fipronil's specificity towards insects is believed to be due to its greater binding affinity to the GABA A receptors of insects, than to those of mammals, and to its action on GluCl channels, which do not exist in mammals.

If fleas are becoming resistance to Fipronil then this would result in the product failing to kill the fleas that it come into contact with.

Fipronil is an active ingredient of the phenylpyrazole group, a broad-spectrum insecticide that acts by contact and has a large residual effect after application. The metabolite MB 46136 is more toxic than the parent to avian species tested (very highly toxic to upland game birds and moderately toxic to waterfowl on an acute oral basis).This prevents the opening of chloride ion channels normally encouraged by GABA, reducing the chloride ions' ability to lower a neuron's membrane potential. Remember that if you are raising your Lab from a pup, you’ll need to keep track of their weight to make sure you’re giving the correct dose each time. Do not use spray in areas containing aquaria, fish tanks and bowls, do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with product or empty pipettes. Fipronil is the active ingredient in the flea and tick treatments Frontline, Sentry Fiproguard, PetArmor, and Hartz First Defense.
