Active substance

1 ml of product contains the following active ingredients:

• fipronil
• benzyl benzoate
• dimethyl phthalate
• pleasant-smelling fragrance
• other auxiliary components

It is this combination of active ingredients that provides the maximum destructive effect not only on mature insects, but also on their larvae. Fipronil has a nerve-paralytic effect and the insect dies from muscle spasms, increased convulsions and disorientation. Benzyl benzoate penetrates the insect's body and forms toxic compounds that disrupt its functioning. Dimethyl phthalate, in turn, is responsible for the repellent effect i.e. being on the surface of the animal’s body, it repels insects for a long time.

Important! All substances contained in BlochNet drops are classified as moderately hazardous compounds. But in any case, it is important to use the drug in the doses indicated in the instructions. Do not overdose the product, it is harmful to the health of your pet.

Main characteristics

The insecticidal acaricidal BlochNet max destroys larvae and fully mature ticks of various families, blood-sucking insects, and midges. The drug is characterized by excellent repellent properties, and its high therapeutic activity is due to the introduction of a unique complex consisting of different components:

— fipronil blocks the parasite and paralyzes the neuromuscular system. The result is paralysis, inevitable death;

— benzyl benzoate accumulates in the body of the parasite, creating a lethal concentration;

— dimethyl phthalate remains on the surface of the animal’s skin and hair, repelling healthy individuals of blood-sucking insects.

Practical use

The procedure for treating the surface of animal skin and fur is as follows:

• Spread the fur.
• Apply the drug directly to the skin.
• It is necessary to process at several points.
• Select application sites so that the dog cannot lick the liquid (neck, back, between the shoulder blades, along the spine).

Duration of exposure:

It is recommended to repeat the procedure after a month (it should not be done more often). The death of parasites after applying the drug to the dog’s skin occurs no later than 24 hours. If you plan to use the product during the treatment of ear scabies, you must first clean the ear canals. You can use a cotton swab or swab moistened with the drug.

Continuing the treatment of otodectosis, it is necessary to inject 3-4 drops of the product into the shell of the ear. To maximize penetration of the liquid, fold your ear and massage it a little. This procedure will have to be performed twice, an interval of 7-10 days.

If the disease has been advanced, the main treatment can be repeated. To increase the effect and protect against otitis, the veterinarian prescribes antibacterial drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs.

It is convenient to cure a pet from a bite of a tick that has burrowed into the dog’s skin. To do this, apply one drop of the liquid substance directly to the parasite and wait 15-20 minutes. During this time, the ixodid tick should fall off on its own, due to the neutralization of the nervous system. If this does not happen, you need to use tweezers.

Pharmacological properties

Blokhnet is an active insectoacaricidal drug. Effectively affects all types of insects and their larvae that parasitize the body of domestic animals. After application to the skin, the solution is evenly distributed throughout the epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the animal’s skin. The active substances do not penetrate the systemic circulation, but accumulate directly under the fur. Due to this, blood-sucking insects have a prolonged effect upon contact with skin or fur, if it has been treated.

In addition to cleaning animals from parasites and preventing their penetration into the skin, Blokhnet drops are also used to treat diseases of dogs and cats such as entomosis, otodectosis and ixodid ticks. According to the results of laboratory studies, no serious consequences or complications were recorded when using the drug.

Advantages and disadvantages

When following the instructions for use, the drug does not have a toxic effect on the pet’s body. It is not recommended to use only in case of individual intolerance. A recommendation for the use of BlochNet is given by a veterinarian, based on the results of clinical studies and external examination.

Review

My cat Mary was probably the most flea-ridden cat, and I had to constantly comb her out. She tolerated flea medications very poorly: her eyes watered and she felt the urge to vomit. At the veterinary pharmacy we were recommended to try the new Russian product Blokhnet max, the price of which suited me. After applying it, I no longer see fleas and Mary feels great, this drug suited her. I think that every cat owner should buy Blokhnet and keep it in their medicine cabinet.

Marina, Pskov

In cases where Blokhnet preparations cause allergies in an animal or if parasites need to be removed from small kittens and puppies, alternative means can be used: Frontline and Stronghold drops for adult animals, Rolf Club and Dr. shampoos. Zoo for dogs and cats with particularly sensitive skin, Frontline and Hearts sprays for puppies. And in very small cubs, fleas need to be combed out with a comb - this will ensure guaranteed safety for the babies.

Operating principle and composition

The main active ingredient of this drug is fipronil, it has the most powerful effect on the parasite. The principle is quite simple - the substance blocks the passage of chlorine ions in the insect's receptors, disrupting the functioning of its central nervous system and leading to paralysis of all major systems. As a result, the parasite simply dies from lack of oxygen due to the inability to breathe.

The remaining components of the composition have a similar insecticidal effect, but are aimed at other forms of pests, thereby providing comprehensive care:

1. Dimethyl phthalate or diethyltoluamide protects exclusively against mosquitoes. Animals stop suffering from their bites in the summer.

   
   The drug “BlochNet” causes paralysis in insects on the skin of animals, as a result of which they die

2. The substance benzyl benzoate has a deep damaging effect on the parasite larvae, making it infertile.
3. Juvemon is an additional component aimed at destroying those eggs and larvae that have already been laid by insects on the skin.

The main difference in the composition is the absence of permethrin, which is toxic to the animals themselves. It is more suitable for people who have head lice or for treating fields against pests. There are known cases of life-threatening adverse reactions in animals, so today almost no drug that helps remove fleas or ticks contains such a component.

All components in the complex exhibit their maximum effectiveness two days after application of the drug. At this time, you can be sure that most of the adult individuals have already died or are in a depressed state. The eggs are destroyed or sterilized after about another day.
