What Makes UltraShield Gold Different: Unlike traditional fly sprays that only repel or kill on contact, UltraShield Gold's FlyShield technology actually interferes with insects' navigation systems. The organic fatty acids (octanoic, nonanoic, and decanoic acids) work synergistically with pyrethrins and permethrin to create a multi-layered defense. Insects can't find your horse, can't land if they do, and are killed on contact if they persist. This triple-action approach delivers superior, longer-lasting protection.
