Abstract
The invention comprises a method of controlling fleas which includes continuously administering to the haircoat of a homeothermic animal an ovicidally effective amount of 2-(1-methyl-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethoxy)pyridine (pyriproxifen) from a sustained release matrix at a rate of 0.1 mcg/kg/day to 100 mcg/kg/day. The method may also include the use of additional ingredients such as insecticides, plasticizers, lubricants and antioxidants in a sustained release matrix.
