Seresto is a flea and tick control collar that utilizes a unique polymer matrix technology to slowly release two active ingredients (imidacloprid and flumethrin) into the natural oils of your pet’s skin. Imidacloprid is a veterinary-approved insecticide that works by blocking the nerves transmission in parasites, causing paralysis in them, while flumethrin repels and kills ticks as well as other insects. Together, these active ingredients provide 8 months of protection for your cat or dog. The imidacloprid works on adult fleas and larvae, while the flumethrin works on ticks but does not protect against flea eggs laid after application.
