Two studies were conducted to assess its speed of kill and knock-down effect on Ctenocephalides felis fleas. The combination was compared to either fipronil alone or to a combination of permethrin, dinotefuran, and pyriproxyfen %K Dogs %K Fleas %K Ctenocephalides felis %K Fipronil %K Permethrin %K Speed of kill %K Knock-down effect %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4736277/
