What is Activyl?

Activyl is a spot-on treatment that uses bioactivation to kill fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and control flea infestations in dogs and cats. Activyl Tick Plus combines the benefits of Activyl with an ingredient to control ticks - it can be used as alternative product to Frontline Plus.

The unique bioactive action does not require the flea to bite your pet in order for the treatment to take effect. As soon as fleas come into contact with the skin they absorb the active ingredient, which paralyses the flea. Activyl prevents fleas from feeding and kills eggs, larvae and adult fleas.

Benefits

  • Fast acting – kills 90% of fleas within 12 hours
  • Topical application ensures the product will not be refused
  • Kills fleas at three life stages to break the breeding cycle
  • Kills 100% of newly arriving fleas for 4 weeks
