Essential insights

• Nervous system interference: Flumethrin targets the sodium channels in parasites, disrupting their nerve signals, which leads to paralysis and death.
• Selective toxicity: Flumethrin is selectively toxic to parasites, with minimal effects on mammals, making it safe for most animals when used correctly.
• Long-lasting protection: Due to its residual effect, it provides extended protection against ectoparasites.
