    Q
    Can I put Nuvan Prostrips in the attic?
    I have mud daubers getting in the attic and can't find the entrance.
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips are not labeled for use in the open spaces/rooms of the home/attic. Talstar P will kill mud daubers that come into contact with treatedareas for a sufficient amount of time to receive a lethal dose. Youwill need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water andbroadcast spray over the areas where you have noticed activity. Most folks notice only very limited results from broadcast sprays ofinsecticides for cicada killers because they don't land and walkaround for a long enough time before entering their undergroundburrow. For a more direct treatment, you can use Delta dust in eachindividual burrow. You may also want to consider our Wasp andHornet Control Products.

  • Asked by Erin from Easton, Pa
    08/03/2019
    Q
    Are Nuvan ProStrips safe to use on kids toys?
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips should be safe if applied as directed on the product label. They are applied in confined areas and will be fine if placed in a container that is sealed or a trash bags to eradicate bedbugs on those items that cannot be washed/dried or treated another way that are infested.  You would have to leave them sealed in containers for at least 2 weeks to kill anything on them.  We have an inspection guide here that can help determine if they are actually infested.  Once you remove from the bag/container just allow items to air out for a few hours before handling

    Q
    Are Nuvan strips safe to use in a drop ceiling in a room where people sleep?
    We have a semi-finished basement with a guest bedroom and bathroom, and the basement has a drop ceiling with standard acoustic tiles. We keep the humidity very low and we keep the rooms clean, but spiders keep turning up. Is it safe to use Nuvan Strips in the ceiling above the tiles? I'm concerned that the vapor might seep into the bedroom, as the tiles only rest loosely on the frame and they are not sealed.
    A

    No, Nuvan ProStrips should not be used in an area where people would sleep at all.  The room would need to be completely unused for at least 2 weeks if you use in the ceiling to kill anything in there.

    Q
    Can you put Nuvan ProStrips in your car?
    Can you put these in your car and still occupy it with out any harm to you or your pets ?
    A

    You would have to seal up the car and not use it for at least 2 weeks to be able to use the Nuvan ProStrips.  They would not be effective if you are constantly opening and closing the doors, and you cannot stay in the car while they are being left inside.

    Q
    Can I lay out my shoes and electronics in a storage locker and place a Nuvan ProStrips in there to kill any bed bugs?
    I'm leaving a apartment building that had a bedbug infestation. I never saw any but I want to treat my shoes and electronics just in case. Can I lay them out in a storage locker and place a Nuvan ProStrips strip inside the locker or is it better to place them in bags with the strip inside?

    Nuvan ProStrips would be better placed in a sealed containers/bags so that the vapor does not escape, you would need to leave sea;ed fpr 2 weeks.  You can also just throughly inspect items to confirm if infested.

    Q
    Will Nuvan ProStrips work in a hotel room for bedbugs?
    The rooms are approximately 600 sq ft. The headboards will not come off the walls so I'm afraid the bugs are coming from behind there. I have used several sprays (Temprid, Bedblam, Cinemax Dust) to treat but they still return.
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips should NOT be applied in a hotel room. They are designed for confined areas only. We recommend that you treat chemically and non-chemically (vaccum, steam, launder linens/curtains in heat, encasements etc). The products that you mentioned should be applied as directed and will help with this pest. Temprid can be applied weekly to infested rooms, dust the voids and treat with Bedlam every two weeks.

    Q
    Can Nuvan Strips damage the finish on things like electric guitars?
    I am worried about bed bugs getting into guitar cases. I took the cases and put 2 in a bag and placed a nuvan strip inside the bag inside of the plastic casing. Will this damage the guitars?
    A

    Nuvan ProStrips only release a vapor to kill insects listed on the label, it should not damage any items at all when used as directed. You will have to leave the bag sealed for 2 weeks to kill anything that could be in the cases.
