    Q
    How long do I need to keep items in zip tied trash bags with a Nuvan strip for cloth moths?
    I had a cloth moth infestation and have already quarantined some suspect feather arrangements, rugs etc... since April. I can't tell for sure if these items have eggs so I have placed each item in a sealed trash bag with a Nuvan strip, sprayed with Precor 2625 and zip tied in the garage.
    A

    Typically you want to keep stored items with Nuvan ProStrips sealed for at least 2 weeks. Most clothing moth eggs hatch in about 10 days, so you are trying to catch newly hatching eggs and adults during that time. If you can store items for longer, then you decrease risk of missing any immature moths.

    Q
    Can I use Nuvan in my beekeepers shed? I store empty hive equipment inc. frames w/ comb
    Mice love the shed in the winter & ants, spiders & other insects can be found throughout the year. Are the Nuvan ProStrips safe to use since the frames & comb will eventually go into an active beehive which produces honey for human consumption?
    A

    To use Nuvan ProStrips in a shed you would have to completely seal it and leave it unused for at least 2 weeks to kill anything that could be in there.  We are not sure what effect it would have on the combs/frames in the future as this is not an intended use of the product.  We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for the best advice, AMVAC at 888-462-6822 to help answer your question.

    Q
    Where can I store the Novan strips after I used them before the four months is up?
    A
    These are meant for a one time use. Once the packet is opened, the shelf life of Nuvan Prostrips may be diminished by as much as a month or more if left unused. The efficacy of Nuvan Prostrips is better protected in a foil-lined packet.

    Q
    Is it safe to keep my bagged clothes in my bedroom closet when using Nuvan ProStrips?
    I put Nuvan into large garbage bags, then twisted and sealed with duct tape. This is my bagged dry cleaning clothing. Then I put the bags in my bedroom closet, though I do open the closet occasionally. Is this safe? I hear different opinions and am nervous. I hope it's ok; saving me thousands in dry cleaning if it is.
    A
    Yes, as long as the bags themselves are not being opened during the treatment process, you can store the sealed bags in your closet with no problem. The only time you normally hear of people advising against this, is because you normally want as little clutter in a closet or closet floor as possible if treating for bed bugs so that way they have no folds to hide in other than where you have the chemical residuals left behind.

    Q
    will nuvan prostrips work in extreme cold?
    I have used books stored in bags in the storage shed with nuvan prostrips to kill anything that may be in/on them. The temperature is -15 with -31 wind chill. Will the strips still work in the cold?
    A
    The Nuvan Pro Strips labeled does not state any warnings on using this product in extreme cold or hot temperatures, so therefore we recommend contacting Amvac directly at 1-323-264-3910 for clarification with your specific situation.

    Q
    If I use one Nuvan strip in an 10 by 7 storage space, will the other strips in the package stay good?
    Or will they all offgas continually (not good since where will I be able to store the remaining strips?) and be less effective as time goes by? Is there a protective packaging that will keep the gas inactive until I open it?
    A
    The Nuvan ProStrips come in a thick foil zipper pouch that will keep the strips sealed and inactive until you are ready to use them.

    01/14/2017
    Q
    If I seal the packet as well as I can, is there a shelf life limit for Nuvan strips?
    I would be using them to quarantine items purchased from flea markets and thrift stores before using them. Electronics, electric guitars, things like that. I might take a year to get through a package.
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips are best when used within 4 months of opening the pouch.  The foil packet may be resealed to prolong the useful life of unused Nuvan Prostrips. However, if not thoroughly sealed, the useful life of the remaining strips may be diminished.

    Q
    Can Nuvan ProStrips be used in large storage totes and stored in a bedroom closet as long as the contents inside the tote and the tote itself are sealed shut? Storing totes with Nuvan strips
    If I use Nuvan strips in a large storage tote, duct taped shut, and then sealed inside a 4 mil thick plastic bag also duct taped shut - would it be safe to store these totes in a bedroom closet? The bedroom in question is used for sleeping, but I'm not seeing clear instructions on if it is safe for humans or pets to be around the strips if they are in securely sealed inside something.
    A

    Yes, Nuvan ProStrips would be safe to use in totes stored in bedrooms or closets where people will sleep as long as the vapors are contained/sealed inside.
