| Summary: | Adult fleas were housed in plastic cages and fed treated blood maintained in the heated chamber of an artificial bovine blood much like they would feed through the skin of a concentrations of pyriproxyfen as low as 0.001 ppm. concentrations of pyriproxyfen ranging from 1 to 10 ppm. In fleas were fed for a period of 11 days on blood containing further testing is warranted in live animals. hatch when they were laid by fleas fed blood containing investigated for its efficacy in control of adult, egg, and larval stages of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis Bouche). Likewise, larvae failed to reach the adult stage when they membrane feeding system. The membrane consisted of thinly minimum of 1 ppm pyriproxyfen. These results suggest that pet animal. Control fleas were fed blood without pyriproxyfen may be effective for control of all stages of pyriproxyfen. Significant mortality occurred when adult stretched parafilm which allowed fleas to feed ad-libitum on the cat flea when fed as an oral medication to pets and that The systemic activity of pyriproxyfen in the blood diet was this experiment, 80-90% of the fleas died by day 9 compared were fed fecal blood excreted by fleas fed blood containing a with 15% mortality in the controls. Eggs also failed to |
