excipients as an active ingredient , which is part of the drug, fipronil is to block GABA-dependent ectoparasite receptors, impaired transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. Diflubenzuron, inhibiting chitin synthesis in parasites, disrupts the process of molting, oviposition and hatchability of larvae from eggs, which leads to the termination of replenishment of the population.
