How does Advantage II for dogs work?

Advantage II for dogs combines two active ingredients:

• Imidacloprid attacks the flea's nervous system - paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
• Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that kills flea eggs and larvae.

This combination plays a crucial role in treating and preventing infestations, because:

• In an existing infestation, you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on the pet.
• Immature flea life stages which live in the pet's environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.

What is the difference between Advantage II for dogs and oral flea products?
