    Q
    After using Nuvan ProStrips in my car, should I wipe down all surfaces including the steering wheel, dashboard, arm rests, etc to ensure there are no residue after 48 hrs or more?
    A

    After using Nuvan ProStrips in a vehicle, you will need to let the car ventilate/air out for a couple hours. Any surfaces such as steering wheel, arm rests, or dashboards can be wiped down if preferred. 

    The product label does not specifically state that you would need to clean the seats, but if you would like to, you can clean off the seats as an extra precaution.

    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
    Will 65 grams Nuvan Prostrips+ work in a plastic bin inside a plastic bag?
    I bought the 65 grams Nuvan Prostrips but I've read a document by them that states the "Nuvan Prostrips+" can't be used in a plastic bag. It doesn't really say why they can't but only because of logistical reasons. In my plastic bins with lids (they aren't weather tight) but they have been duck-taped a bit. The bins are also inside a tightly knotted plastic bag. The nuvan strip is on top of the plastic bins lid. The contents of the bin are books, and another with books, cds, and magazines. Will this method still work?
    A
    The Nuvan Prostrips should be placed inside the plastic bin with your books and cds etc. in order for the vapors to permeate through all of your items in the bin.  You can then place the bins into a tightly knotted plastic bag.

    Q
    Can Nuvan ProStrips and aerosol foggers be used at the same time?
    We will be installing Nuvan strips for pest control (roaches and silverfish) inside a shipping container. The boxed paper records inside the shipping containers, may sometimes need to be taken out sooner than the 2 weeks recommended for Nuvan strips to work. Can we use foggers in conjunction with Nuvan strips to treat those items?
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips are not recommended to be used at the same time as an aerosol fogger for insects.  

    NOTE: We no longer carry the Nuvan ProStrips. Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol could be considered as an alternative. Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    Can Nuvan ProStrips be used in my car in 2 treatments of 72 hrs each to kill bed bugs if I can't leave my car for 2 full weeks?
    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?
    A

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Q
    How do I know if the Nuvan ProStrips were effective before bringing out my seal items from container?
    Hello, I’ve left my Nuvan ProStrips in a container for approximately two weeks, how do I know if the treatment was effective before i start unpacking items?
    A

    Typically you want to keep stored items with Nuvan ProStrips sealed for at least 2 weeks. We suggest checking the items for sign of activity before completely unpacking them.
