    Q
    Can Nuvan ProStrips be used inside a trailer to "debug" the trailer and will it work on items packed in boxes such as books and other miscellaneous items? Hang 1 - 2 strips, leave them for 2 weeks and then hang another strip for 2 more weeks, would this work?
    A

    The Nuvan ProStrips are effective for up to 4 months for Ants, Cockroaches, Bees, Hornets, Wasps and Yellow Jackets, Pantry Pests, Flies, Mosquitoes, and Spiders. These cannot be used in areas where people will spend an extended amount of time. You will need to calculate the cubic feet of the trailer to determine how many strips are needed to be effective. Hang strips so as not to impede air circulation. If multiple strips are needed, space them evenly throughout the space to be treated. One 16 gram strip will treat approximately 100 to 200 cubic feet. 

    Please view the full product label under “Household Uses” for more information.

    Q
    How can I use Nuvan ProStrips in an occupied bedroom to treat for bed bugs? Can I place a strip in the closet or nightstand and still be able to sleep in the room?
    A

    No, Nuvan ProStrips cannot be used in occupied rooms or living spaces inside the home. These strips should be as an additional method to eradicate bed bugs in various items such as electronics, appliances, toys, clocks, wall hangings, printers, picture frames, lamps, etc. Keep items contained and sealed for no less than 48 hours and up to 7 days to kill bed bugs. Take care to avoid direct contact of the strip with the surface of items being treated.
    For active bed bugs, a combination of products along will follow up applications are required to effectively eradicate an infestation. 

    Our Bed Bug Kits would be recommended to treat for active bed bugs. Each kit contains the best combination of products necessary to treat where bed bugs hide and will provide enough product for the initial treatment and 1-2 follow up treatments. Repeat each step explained in our Bed Bug Treatment Guide every 7-10 days until you can 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs.

    Q
    Will Nuvan ProStrips kill carpet beetle larvae and eggs?
    We have some stuffed animals which have been damaged by carpet beetles. Will putting them in sealed bags with Nuvan ProStrips kill any carpet beetles, larvae and eggs on the items? Would the stuffed animals need to be washed or dried before they can be cuddled again? If so this would defeat the purpose of using Nuvan ProStrips. The heat from the washer/dryer would melt their fleece, so we are hoping to avoid that. Thank you.
    A

    No, Nuvan ProStrips are not labeled for Carpet Beetles.Nuvan Pro Strips can be used as directed for the following pests: Ants, Bed bugs, Cockroaches, Bees, Hornets, Wasps and Yellow Jackets, Pantry Pests, Flies, Mosquitoes, Spiders.

    If heat treatments from your dryer are not an option, you can spot treat the seams of the stuffed animals carefully with a hand steamer as carpet beetles, larvae, and eggs will die upon direct contact with steam. Please review our How to Get Rid of Carpet Beetles Treatment Guide for products and information on how to successully treat for Carpet Beetles.

    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?
