I am treating for bed bugs in my car and apartment. Unfortunately I can't leave my car for 2 full weeks. Could I put some belongings in my car along with 3 nuvan strips for 72 hours then do it again in two weeks once eggs have hatched?
Please NOTE: We no longer carry Nuvan ProStrips.
In order for Nuvan ProStrips to be effective, they need to be left in areas that are unoccupied and unopened for atleast 2 weeks to treat for bed bugs. If the vehicle cannot be closed and unused for the recommended 2 weeks, the treatment is not going to work. If you are simply wanting to treat belongings, then you can place those in seal containers for a couple of weeks with the Nuvan ProStrips. Use one Nuvan Pro Strip per 100 to 200 cubic foot of enclosed area
For vehicles, it is recommended to vacuum the inside of the vehicle (seats, flooring, under seats, along consoles, etc) and use Bedlam Plus Aerosol to treat the tufts, seams and folds of the seats, along edges of flooring, cracks and crevices of dashes, consoles, floor boards, etc.
Apply Cimexa Dust using a bellow hand duster to the areas where the seats of cushions and the backs meet, under the seats along the sliding tracks, and any other crack/crevice small enough for a debit card to slide into.
Sterifab can be used as broadcast spray over seats, flooring, seat backs, etc as this is only a contact kill and will not leave any residual once dry.
