tv.bedbugcentral.com – In this episode, Jeff will discuss Hot Shot No-Pest Strips and Nuvan Prostrips these strips are very similar to each other in that they use the same active ingredient, dichlorvos or DDVP, in the same percentage and are to be used in similar settings. The difference between the two products is that bed bugs is listed on the Nuvan Prostrips label which makes it available for use in states where the pest is required to be listed on the directions for use. These strips primarily fit into bed bug control plans in that if you have a bag of belongings that you cannot treat with pesticides and cannot launder, if the items in that bag are listed on the label as able to be treated by this pesticide, you could place a strip in that bag treat the belongings for bed bugs. Recent research indicates that belongings should be left for at least two weeks, and maybe more, to be effective against bed bugs and their eggs. Please be aware that research found that bed bugs survived in certain items even when you left them exposed to Nuvan Prostrips for more than two weeks. These products provide you with another option to treat items you cannot launder or treat for bed bugs.

    Do these leave poison on fruits and vegetables inside a greenhouse?

    @CosmicGrooves Thanks for the comment. I’m unable to speak about these products effectiveness in a greenhouse setting. I would consult the label on the pesticide or the manufacturer to determine if they are labeled for use in a greenhouse.
