In addition to the synthetic pheromone (the two "active" ingredients, listed here first after water), the spray contains other ingredients, sometimes called "inert". While the complete list of ingredients in Checkmate ORL-F remains a trade secret, the ingredients in Checkmate LBAM-F were disclosed by order of Governor Schwarzenegger. The actual concentrations of these ingredients are still unknown.
