I'm thinking to try nuvan strips, and don't have time to wait 2-4 weeks...Items mostly are clothes, stuffed animals and toys. And vapor still go throw well even if all cluttered? Or should I put all the stuff little loose giving them a little bit of room between stuff and stuff?
NuVan ProStrips release a small amount of short-acting insecticide continuously over the life of the strips. Since bed bugs stay hidden in cracks and crevices for most of their lives, it is important to keep items for at least the recommend 2 weeks when using Nuvan strips to treat for bed bugs. This time is also recommend so that any bed bug eggs that may have been in the items have time to hatch and be exposed to the insecticide. There should be enough room around the Nuvan strip and the items in the area for the insecticide to circulate, and strips should not be sandwiched between items. Keep in mind that clothing, bedding, and many other items can be treated by washing and drying in regular machines. A steamer is also a great tool for killing bed bugs and other pests on contact. Another option is to use a heat chamber such as the ZappBug Heater, which works in just a few hours. We have more great tips in our Bed Bug Treatment Guide here.
