Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does UltraShield EX really last in wet or humid conditions?

UltraShield EX is formulated with UltraBond Technology, which bonds the formula to the hair shaft for up to 17 days of protection — even through rain, sweat, and high humidity. For best results, apply to a clean, dry coat and allow it to dry fully before turnout or work.

Q: Can I use this spray inside my barn or trailer?

Yes — UltraShield EX works as a premise spray for barn walls, stall surfaces, feeders, and trailer interiors. Spray surfaces before loading horses or around high-traffic fly zones to kill and repel insects on contact. This helps reduce the overall fly population in your barn.

Q: Is UltraShield EX safe to use on dogs?

Absolutely. The water-based formula is safe for dogs and ponies as well as horses. Use the same application method — spray lightly to dampen the coat, avoiding eyes and mucous membranes, and brush through for even coverage.

Q: How much product should I use per application?

Plan on about 45 sprays (approximately 2 ounces) per horse for full-body coverage. The coat should feel damp but not soaked. Shake well before use, and for best results, brush the hair up before spraying, then brush down to coat the entire hair shaft evenly.
