The global ectoparasiticide sales for 1998 were 1.35 billion (Figure 14). As we have noted earlier, the new flea control agents, fipronil, imidacloprid and lufenuron, command a substantial slice of this. Despite concerns about environmental and worker toxicity, organophosphates are still major products in the livestock sector. 

Within the pet care market over 74% of liquids and aerosol products now contain PBO, usually as a synergist for pyrethrins, but also with other active ingredients. Flea control is a major problem. 

Several different drugs have been developed to help pet owners control fleas. One of these drugs is lufenuron, the active ingredient in Program. Lufenuron interferes with the flea s production of chitin. The consequences are fatal for the flea because its exoskeleton is composed primarily of chitin. 

Uses Diazinon is a colorless to dark brown liquid. Based on the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database for 1995, approximately 107,510 pounds of production-related waste was generated by the United States. Further, releases from facilities to the environment totaled 11,498 pounds, most of which was in the form of stack emissions. Diazinon is used for the control of pest insects in soil, on ornamental plants, and on fruit and vegetable field crops. It also is used to control household pests such as flies, fleas, and cockroaches.28 42...

Fenthion is a broad spectrum insecticide. When applied as a surface spray, it controls adult mosquitoes and other insect pests and spiders in agricultural, horticultural, and home garden use. Recent reports indicate that resistance to fenthion has developed in some species of mosquitoes. Fenthion is used in dermal application for treatment of swine and cattle for control of lice, flies, and ticks, and in flea and tick treatments for pets. It is also used in aqueous applications to kill dragonfly larvae in ornamental fish production ponds. Fenthion is an effective avicide, and has been marketed to control birds considered to be pests. 

Dogs and cats are commonly poisoned by pesticides, herbicides, household products such as antifreeze, and drugs such as acetaminophen applied by humans to their pets. By far the most common toxicities in these small animals involve various insecticides and the overzealous use of these products by owners attempting to control fleas and ticks on their pets. 

The safety and immediate efficacy of pyreLhrins synergizod with PBO has been recognized for many decades, and they remain the most common combinations of insecticide/acaricide products for direct application to both humans and animals. Lice and crabs have to be controlled with safe, effective products since they involve direct application to humans. Similarly flea and tick control involves direct application to pets, many of which arc sensitive to pesticides. 

Products based on synergized pyrethrins offer the physician, fanner, pet owner and veterinarian safe and effective control of insect pests without the inclusion of toxic additives, and without restrictions on repeat treatments. Since PBO is not a cholinesterase inhibitor, it may be used in conjunction with flea or tick dips, collars and oral medications. 

Tick-killing products usually have more than one active ingredient in conjunction with PBO, One very successful veterinary product combines two insecticides ipermethrin and pyrethrins in a dual-synergist system PBO and MGK 264) and twro repellents to provide effective control of not only ticks and fleas, but also of lice, diiggers. gnats, and mosquitoes. 

Cats and kittens may be more sensitive to many insecticides than other pets, and are often nervous about treatments. For this reason, foams that can be applied to the palm of the hand before application and then massaged into the hair arc the preferred treatments, and pyrethrins and PBOare the most commonly nseductive ingredients. Foam products, containing 0.15% pyrethrins and 0.70% PBO in a dual-synergist system, provide rapid flea kill and at least 8 days of residual control of fleas on cats.
