What is Effipro Duo Spot On External Pest Control for cats?
Effipro Duo Spot On External Pest Control for Cats protects your feline companion against flea infestations, mixed flea-tick infestations and environmental recontamination. The product acts like an invisible shield, intercepting parasites before they can turn your cat's coat into a playground. You offer your companion a complete, long-lasting parasite barrier, perfectly suited to cats exposed to seasonal or chronic risks. You can find this type of solution in our cat pest control category.
Effipro Duo Spot On treats and prevents Ctenocephalides felis flea infestations with prolonged efficacy. A single application blocks all new infestations for five weeks, while preventing flea reproduction for twelve weeks. The product thus interrupts the parasite cycle at source, limiting the invisible proliferation of eggs, larvae and pupae in the home environment. Your cat benefits from continuous protection, and your home regains a lasting sanitary balance.
The product fits perfectly into a DAPP (Flea Allergy Dermatitis) management strategy. When a veterinarian diagnoses DAPP, Effipro Duo Spot On acts as a therapeutic ally, reducing the parasite pressure responsible for itching, redness and skin lesions. Cats gradually regain skin comfort, healthier skin and calmer behavior.
Effipro Duo Spot On also targets Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus turanicus ticks, with an acaricide action effective for one week. The product does not prevent ticks from attaching, but eliminates them within 48 hours of attachment. This early action limits the duration of skin contact and reduces the risk of pathogen transmission, without ever offering a false promise of total invulnerability. The product acts as a realistic, reliable and responsible line of defense.
Fipronil acts as a powerful insecticide and acaricide, blocking chloride channels in the parasite's nervous system. This inhibition causes uncontrolled nervous excitation, leading to rapid elimination. Pyriproxifen completes this action through its role as agrowth inhibitor, preventing the transformation of immature stages into adult fleas. This combination acts like a biological lock, blocking all avenues of the parasite cycle.
Effipro Duo Spot On External Pest Control for Cats therefore combines a curative action, a preventive action, an environmental action and an integrated action. The product protects, sanitizes, secures and stabilizes the cat's ecosystem. It fights, repels, blocks, neutralizes and controls parasites in all their forms. It offers a complete, comprehensive, consistent and long-lasting defense against external pests that disrupt feline health and well-being.
To further enhance this pest protection, you can alternate Effipro Duo Spot On External Pest Control for Cats with Frontline Spot On Cats 6 Pipettes, to optimize the continuity and coverage of your pest control protocol.
