    Q
    Can I put a Nuvan ProStrips inside my vacuum cleaner bag?
    A

    We do not recommend using the Nuvan ProStrips inside the vacuum cleaner. We would suggest discarding of the bag and replacing it, or emptying the contents of a cannister into a bag on the exterior of the structure. Please provide the targeted pest for further recommendations.

    Q
    Will Nuvan ProStrips kill drywood termites?
    If I put a bunch of Nuvan Stripes in my mobile home an close it up for 10 days will it take care of Drywood termites?
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips is not labelled for drywood termites and would not be an effective method of treatment. Drywood Termite colonies are located in the wood they are eating, therefore we recommend directly treating the area with Termidor Foam or BoraCare. Please review our How to Treat for Drywood Termite Guide for step by step instructions on the most effective treatment.

  • Asked by Teresa from Cambridge City, In
    09/27/2018
    Q
    If you put several Nuvan ProStrips into a 10x10 shed that has boxes and tubs in, will that be effective for bed bugs?
    There are way too many boxes to put a strip in each one.
    A

    Each Nuvan ProStrip treats 100-200 cu. ft. of space.  The clean, odorless vapor is evenly distributed throughout the enclosed treatment area, killing visible and hidden insects on contact and preventing new insect infestations. Nuvan Prostrips can only be used in small enclosed areas such as closets (no air vents can be present), cupboards, boxes, bags or small storage areas, that can be closed off for at least 2 weeks to kill anything inside.  If the boxes are taped closed or otherwise sealed, the vapor will not get into them, so these need to be opened so the contents can be exposed.

  • Asked by Catherine from Southfield, Mi
    10/08/2018
    Q
    How many Nuvan ProStrips are needed for 56-quart plastic tub?
    I see we can cut the strips down when doing the tub method for books. Approximately what fraction of a small strip would be sufficient to treat a 56-quart plastic bin?
    A

    The manufacturer of the Nuvan ProStrips advises against cutting the strips. We recommend that you do not overly pack bags/containers/totes too full with belongings so that the vapors can work around the items effectively. You can use 1 full strip per tub.

  • Asked by Coaleen from Columbus, Ohio
    10/10/2018
    Q
    If one Nuvan ProStrip came into contact with soaking water, is the strip still good?
    I was going through the bag and missed one of the strips, as I dumped all them into the tub a strip was in it. I had filled the tub with water. Is the strip still good/ is the water contaminated? I was trying to sort through some of them and had my hands in this water.
    A

    Since the Nuvan ProStrips are designed for use straight from the package, we would not use one that had been dropped into water. If you are using that water for cleaning, then we recommend discarding it and getting fresh water. You can view the Safety Data Sheet for this product here.

    Q
    Can I use Nuvan ProStrips to treat bedbugs on a sofa?
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips must remain in a sealed, enclosed area for at least 2 weeks to be effective.  If the sofa is in this type of area, then the Nuvan strips could be used.  A  better option for furniture would be to use something like SteriFab.  You may want to look over our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Jim from Murphy, Nc
    12/05/2018
    Q
    What can we use to treat in the ceiling area above our walk out basement where we had yellow jackets last year?
    October 2018 we discovered an infestation of Yellow Jackets in the ceiling area above our finished and occupied walk out basement. The ceilings are finished with acoustic ceiling tile. No bees were entering the apartment, some were trapped in a bathroom ceiling light fixture. We sealed the outside access when we found their outside entry point. Within a few days of sealing the entry there was no more activity. We are concerned that there may be a female(s) overwintering in the ceiling. What are your recommendations?
    A

    A great product to use in the ceiling void would be an insecticide dust. Tempo 1% Dust is the most popular choice for flying stinging insects. You would apply it into voids, cracks, and crevices using a hand duster like the B&G Bulb Duster 1150. Dust has long residual and is picked up easily by these insects with the tiny hairs on their bodies.

    Q
    Can Nuvan Pro Strips be used in a bag with new, sealed food packages?
    After airing out the bags of food (tea and candy, new and sealed inside their packaging) is it ok to eat or should it be thrown away?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, as long as no air could reach the actual edible items when treating with the Nuvan ProStrips, then they should be fine to consume.

    Q
    Can I use Nuvan ProStrips in a bag with clothing?
    A

    You can bag clothes with a nuvan strip .  However, it is worth mentioning that even without placing your clothes in a bag with a nuvan stip for 2 to 4 weeks, anything that will go in a dryer for about 15 minutes on even low heat will kill all stages of bed bugs instantly.  So if you are going to wash them anyway and you didn't want to wait for 2 weeks before wearing something, you could wash and dry it and be assured there were no bed bugs when it came out of the dryer.

    Q
    Why do you say two weeks is required to treat for bed bugswith Nuvan Strips, but the label says 7 days to kill eggs?
    A

    Per training with the manufacturer the recommended time to keep items sealed with Nuvan ProStrips is 2 weeks to be sure every stage is killed that could be in the containers.

    Q
    Can I use Nuvan Strips in a bedroom closet?
    A

    Nuvan Prostrips could potentially be used to treat a closet so long as it is completely sealed up so the vapor cannot escape, and the closet stays sealed up for at least 2 weeks to give enough time for the vapor to penetrate the entire area.

  • Asked by Irvine from Seattle, Wa
    06/01/2019
    Q
    Can I put a Nuvan strip in a box of vinyl records?
    I have about 40 boxes of vinyl records. I have bedbugs. I was told to by the building manager to put 1 Nuvan Prostrip in each box and tape them up, then move them to the storage area tomorrow. After reading the instructions this doesn't sound safe in my apartment. I'm stressed and really low but I don't want to die. I don't know what to do. Thanks-irv
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips can be used to safely treat vinyl records if you suspect that bedbugs have infested them.  You can place in a box and tape well so that no vapors escape or you can put the box in a large contractor trash bag and seal that well.  The other option is to just thoroughly inspect the records to see if there are in fact any bugs infesting and if so move those over to a trash bag, place a strip in there and seal it up.  You will need to leave sealed for at least 2 weeks to ensure death of any bugs.
