Effitix Repels Biting Flies

Repel biting flies with monthly Effitix

The active ingredient, Fipronil is a well-known insecticide and effective against biting flies. Following application of Effitix to the skin, fipronil dissolves in the skin’s oily sebaceous layer and spreads across the skin surface. Fipronil is concentrated in the sebaceous gland, the epithelial layers surrounding the hairs, and the exposed part of the hair shaft after treatment, where biting flies may try to land.

The active ingredient permethrin is a fast-acting adulticide and repellant of biting flies. Effitix has rapid knockdown and repellency. This prevention of attachment can be important to reduce your dog’s chances of bites, allergic reactions, skin irritation and open wounds that could be susceptible to infection.. After application of Effitix, the pyrethroids bind tightly to the hair shaft when they reach the hair follicle and persist there, thus blocking biting flies. The compound exerts a toxic effect on the nerves of the parasite, acting as a noxious stimulus.
