10431725 Mehlhorn H, Mencke N, Hansen O: Effects of imidacloprid on adult and larval stages of the flea Ctenocephalides felis after in vivo and in vitro application: a light- and electron-microscopy study. Parasitol Res. 1999 Aug;85(8-9):625-37.

The affected flea stages remained motionless while the nerves and muscles were constantly and irreversibly destroyed due to hyperactivity.

The possible implication of the action of such low concentrations of imidacloprid in the contraction of the respiratory muscles is also demonstrated and discussed.

11293567 Mehlhorn H, Hansen O, Mencke N: Comparative study on the effects of three insecticides (fipronil, imidacloprid, selamectin) on developmental stages of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis Bouche 1835): a light and electron microscopic analysis of in vivo and in vitro experiments. Parasitol Res. 2001 Mar;87(3):198-207.

All three drugs apparently acted on nerves and muscles and thus stopped motility.
