Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can this fly spray be used on my dog?

Ans: No, this product is specifically labeled for use on horses, ponies, foals, llamas, alpacas, mules, and donkeys, and is not intended for use on companion animals like dogs or cats, so choose a dog-specific repellent for that purpose instead for your pet's safety.

Q2: How long does one application of this fly spray last?

Ans: This formula stays active for up to 7 days under normal conditions. It's a good idea to reapply sooner if your horse is washed or gets caught in heavy rain, since both can wash away the protective formula sooner than expected.

Q3: What makes this fly spray different from other UltraShield formulas?

Ans: UltraShield Red uses a unique blend of five active ingredients, including photo-stable Tetramethrin, which helps it stay effective even in intense, direct sunlight compared to some other formulas on the market designed for long summer days outdoors in the sun.

Q4: Can this product also be used to control pests around my barn?

Ans: Yes, this product also works as a premise spray, killing insects like cockroaches, carpenter ants, and fleas on contact in stables, barns, and other animal quarters where pests tend to gather or hide indoors during cooler months of the year.

Q5: Is this product safe to use around my horse's face?

Ans: Care is needed near the face. Use a soft cloth to apply the product around the eyes, nose, and mouth, and avoid getting spray directly into these sensitive areas during every single application you make throughout the entire fly season.

Q6: Is this fly spray harmful to bees or fish?

Ans: Yes, this product is highly toxic to bees and extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic life, so avoid spraying near blooming plants or bodies of water sources nearby, including ponds, streams, or drainage areas around your property or farm.

Q7: How much of this product should I use per application?

Ans: Apply enough to cover the coat without wetting the skin or applying to the point of dripping, and avoid exceeding two ounces per single application session to help avoid overuse or unnecessary waste of product each and every time you spray your horse.
