Imidacloprid targets fleas' nervous systems, killing them rapidly upon contact and preventing their reproduction by stopping the development of flea eggs. It also eliminates flea larvae found in the pet's surroundings, breaking the flea life cycle. Moxidectin, on the other hand, acts against heartworm larvae, effectively preventing heartworm disease.
