Composition and properties of the drug
BlochNet is a transparent, oily, yellowish liquid. The product is used externally. Among the huge number of combined insectoacaricidal preparations, this composition is recognized by experts as one of the most powerful.
There is a strictly defined amount of active substances per 1 ml of the drug:
- 50 mg fipronil;
- 50 mg benzyl benzoate;
- 60 mg diethyltoluamide;
- 1 mg juvemon.
The excipients in the composition are glycerin, dimethyl sulfoxide, isopropyl and benzyl alcohol. Thanks to its enhanced formula, this product works ideally against ixodid ectoparasites, lice and lice, and is suitable for animals of any breed. The repellent effect of the drug (on flying insects) has also been proven in practice.
BlochNet is capable of:
- destroy fleas at any stage of development;
- interrupt the reproduction process of blood-sucking parasites, prevent new infections of the animal;
- destroy lice-eaters, ticks (especially ixodid), lice;
- keep mosquitoes away from the animal.
Important! Using BlochNet significantly reduces the risk of contracting a dangerous disease from ticks.
The simultaneous use of drops and BlochNet spray can create double protection for a cat. This “armor” is especially relevant when animals play in nature. She simply needs to be free-range. You need to carefully spray your pet, which has already been treated with drops, with BlochNet spray before a walk, and not a single parasite will come close to your pet.
Important! Experienced cat owners treat their pets' bedding with flea spray and thereby rid their animals of infection.

| Indication | Against ticks and/or fleas (insectoacaricidal) |
| Form | Drops on the withers |
| Instructions for use | BlochNet insectoacaricidal drops are used to treat the skin and hair of an animal for preventive purposes to protect the animal from attack by ectoparasites in single doses. The treatment is carried out as follows: it is necessary to part the animal’s fur and apply the drug to the skin at several points that are inaccessible for licking (at the base of the skull, between the shoulder blades and along the back). The duration of the protective effect is: against midges in dogs - 5 - 7 days, in cats - 1 - 2 days; against fleas in dogs and cats - 1.5 - 2 months; from other ectoparasites for 1 month. The repeated procedure should be carried out no more than once a month. For the treatment of entomosis in dogs and cats (flea atopic dermatitis, scab), the drug is used according to the indicated dosages. Parasites die within 24 hours after application of the product. In case of otodectosis (ear scabies), before using the drug, the external auditory canal is cleaned of crusts and scabs using a cotton swab moistened with the drug. Then the medicine is instilled into each ear, 3-4 drops and the auricle is folded in half, lightly massaging at the base to distribute the medicine evenly. Treatment is carried out 2 times a day with an interval of 7 - 10 days. In advanced cases of otodectosis, complicated by otitis, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed. If necessary, the course of treatment is repeated. The drug is administered into both ears, even in cases of otodectosis affecting only one ear. If an ixodid tick is found on the skin of an animal, apply 1 drop of the drug to the parasite. If after 20 minutes the tick does not fall off spontaneously, it must be removed using tweezers. In order to prevent re-infestation, the animal's bedding should be replaced or treated with an insectoacaricidal spray in accordance with the instructions for use. Side effects may occur in very rare cases, with increased individual sensitivity to the drug, signs of intoxication and allergy may appear (muscle tremors, vomiting, excessive salivation and lacrimation, itching, irritation and redness of the skin). If these signs or other manifestations of intolerance appear, the drug should be immediately washed off with soap and water or shampoo. Contraindications include individual hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. Pregnant and lactating dogs and cats, puppies under 10 weeks of age, kittens under 12 weeks of age, as well as animals with infectious diseases and convalescent animals cannot be treated. |

Indications for use
Any pet needs regular care. However, even the most attentive owners have emergency situations with their pets that require the use of BlochNet.
The drug is indicated when the following occurs in animals:
- Entomosis, which is caused by fleas.
- Damage to the skin and fur after infestation with lice and lice.
- Diseases caused by ticks.
Important! Any of the above problems can be prevented if BlochNet is used as a prophylactic against ectoparasites.
BlochNet spray is extremely popular for ensuring the safety of free-ranging cats. Double protection (drops + spray) is considered even more reliable. It is recognized as the best option for free-ranging animals.
Advantages
According to reviews from cat owners, the drug is indeed a good generic version of fipronil on the domestic market. It is convenient to use and easy to store. The cap on the bottle with drops is tightly screwed on, and the drug is perfectly preserved until the next treatment of the animal.
BlochNet does not irritate your pet’s skin and does not provoke the development of allergies. The cat feels well if the dosage of the drug is not exceeded.
The drug is domestic and is not inferior in quality to most foreign analogues. Due to its very reasonable cost, BlochNet is available for purchase by most pet breeders. You can purchase the product at a pet store or veterinary pharmacy.
Important! The drug should be kept away from food. It is better if it is a plastic container or a first aid kit that is inaccessible to children.
Operating principle
The insectoacaricidal effectiveness of the drug is due to the successful selection of components that enhance the effect of each other. The effect of fipronil ensures blocking of GABA-dependent parasite receptors and disruption of neuromyalgic conduction. This causes paralysis and then death of the insect.
Juvemon is an inhibitor of chitin formation; it prevents the growth and development of parasites.
The presence of benzyl benzoate in the drug maintains and enhances the effect of fipronil: the substance accumulates in the tissues of blood-sucking animals and poisons them. The repellent activity of the product is provided by diethyltoluamide.
After using the drug, ectoparasites die en masse within 24 hours. To prevent re-infestation, the cat’s previous bedding must be destroyed or treated with BlochNet spray.
Table 1. Terms of protection against parasites.
| Parasite name | Duration of guaranteed protection |
| Fleas | 2 months |
| Ixodid and sarcoptoid ticks, lice, lice eaters | 1.5 months |
| Mosquitoes | 1 Week |
Important! After treating the bedding, care items, and baseboards, it is necessary to wait 2 hours and provide through ventilation. The litter should be vacuumed thoroughly.
Drops for cats Astrapharm BlochNet Insecto-acaricidal
BlochNet max Insectoacaricidal drops for cats. Advantages:
BlochNet max drops for cats are intended for the therapeutic and preventive treatment of cats of all breeds against insectoacaricidal, ixodid and sarcoptic ticks, lice, lice.
Pharmacological properties
The mechanism of action of fipronil, which is part of the drug, is to block GABA-dependent arthropod receptors, disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. Benzyl benzoate, penetrating through the chitinous cover and accumulating in the body of ticks, has an acaricidal effect on the larvae and adults of parasites.
Juvemon, an analogue of natural juvenile hormones, causes anomalies in the development of insects at the egg and larval stages, preventing the appearance of mature insects on animals and in places where they are kept. Diethyltoluamide has repellent properties, protecting animals from attacks by blood-sucking dipterous insects.
Indications for use:
Recommended for entomosis, otodectosis, ixodid ticks and lice-eaters, and also as a repellent against blood-sucking mosquitoes, flies, and horseflies. Contraindications:

Important! When spraying a cat's ears, her eyes and nose must be covered with a cloth.
The greatest difficulties for owners of domestic cats arise when ridding animals of attached ticks. It is enough to apply 1 drop of BlochNet to the parasite, and it will fall off the victim in 15–20 minutes. If this does not happen, you will have to use tweezers and pull the tick out of the skin. After this, the parasite must be destroyed.
