Manufacturer: Mavlab Pty Ltd Registered Name Fleatrol Plus Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) Quick-Dry Insecticidal Spray for Cats, Dogs and Households Composition Each L contains N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide 6.0 g, piperonyl butoxide 3.6 g, methoprene 4.0 g, pyrethrins 1.8 g; no petroleum solvents. Actions Methoprene is an insect growth regulator. In insects the natural pyrethrins, which have no anticholinesterase activity, cause slow closure of the sodium channel activation gate resulting in hyperexcitation followed by convulsions and death. The pyrethrins are synergised by piperonyl butoxide which has a minor repellent action in its own right. N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide is also a synergist. Indications Control of fleas (Ctenocephalides sp.) and adult brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) on cats and dogs for up to seven days, and in their environment. Prevents fleas from producing viable eggs for up to six weeks. Contraindications Administration to puppies or kittens under 3 months old, or to sick or convalescing animals. Warnings In paralysis tick areas, daily examination of dogs and cats is desirable. This product does not control paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus). Precautions Do not contaminate food and water containers. First aid. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126. If sprayed on skin, wash thoroughly. If sprayed in mouth rinse mouth with water. Disposal. Poisonous to fish and crustacea. Do not contaminate ponds, streams and aquaria. Do not reuse container. Dispose of empty container by wrapping with paper and putting in garbage. Directions for use Spray from a distance of 15 cm to the animal by squeezing the trigger rapidly and continuously. Fluff the hair to allow the spray to penetrate to the skin. Start from the tail and work towards the head spraying enough to slightly dampen the coat and skin. Spray may be used daily.
