The active ingredient imidacloprid in Advantage II works on the central nervous system of fleas to induce paralysis and cause death. Pyriproxyfen, the other active ingredient in Advantage II, regulates insect growth to prevent flea eggs from hatching. This effectively ends the flea life cycle to eliminate infestations.
