How It Works: UltraShield EX combines three proven insecticides with proprietary UltraBond Technology that helps the formula adhere to the hair coat for extended protection. The permethrin provides long-lasting residual control, while pyrethrins deliver immediate knockdown of flying and crawling insects.
