Nuvan Prostrips
Nuvan Prostrips
Nuvan Prostrips are plastic encasements that slowly releases vapors to effectively kill insects in enclosed areas for up to 4 months. One 16-gram strip will treat 100 to 200 cubic feet.
Nuvan Prostrips, manufactured by AMVAC, is a ready-to-use vapona insecticide strip that is infused with the active ingredient dichlorvos 18.6%, which eliminates targeted pests by damaging their nervous system.
This fumigation strip features a unique controlled release design that helps to continously control pests, such as bed bugs or clothes moths, with minimial odor and mess.
Nuvan Prostrips is a clean and odorless pest control vapor strip that can easily be placed or hanged to control biting, stinging, and other flying pests within enclosed spaces. Insects that bite, crawl, or carry diseases can be eliminated for up to 4 months.
Tools Needed
Nuvan Prostrips comes ready to use with no other application tools needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how many Nuvan Prostrips to use by measuring the cubic feet of the treatment area. Do this by measuring the length, width, and height of the treatment area then multiplying these numbers together (length x width x height = cubic feet). One 16-gram strip will treat between 100 to 200 cubic feet.
- Step 2: While wearing gloves, open the foil package and peel the strip from its packaging. Open the plastic encasement, place the Prostrip inside, then snap the plastic encasement shut.
- Step 3: Hang or place the strip in the designated area where targeted pests are gathering and out of the reach of children or pets.
- Step 4: Replace the Pro Strips every 4 months for maximum control.

Q:What is the best IGR to help eliminate mites that would be found on rodents or bird the garage no longer has these critters but it seems they left smaller critters behind! Also what is the strongest pesticide that we can use with an IGR permethrin and bifenthrin have not solved the issue at hand.3/6/24A:Keep in mind that Nuvan Prostrips Vapona Insecticide cannot be used for treatment of aviaries or birdcages. Can only be used to control mites on reptiles and other pests in reptile enclosures, displays, reptile houses and terrariums. A permethrin 10% and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) 10% adulticide solution we recommend for mites in your garage is Flex 10-10 with an IGR like Tekko Pro IGR Insect Growth Regulator. https://www.solutionsstores.com/tekko-pro-igr-insect-growth-regulator https://www.solutionsstores.com/flex-10-10-insecticide

Q:Can I enclose a Nuvan pro-strip inside a sealed plastic bag with a laptop computer to kill any bedbugs that may have crawled inside? If so, how many days should I leave them sealed to kill all bugs?8/26/20A:You should be able to do that without any issues, I don’t know how long though. If you can, I would certainly leave it in for a few days. Now if that would only work for any computer bugs as well :) good luck!

Q:Does everything have to be removed from the rooms and washed before being used again after having the strips in place for a few days?2/28/20A:Strips need to be used in very small, enclosed and airtight situations. Like thick plastic bags sealed with ducktape. They won't work in a room and they need to be sealed for at least 7-14 days.

Q:Does nuvan expire?9/11/18A:I used them right after I bought them. From what I read they have an effective life of a few months after opening so I reused them several times after opening but no controlled experiments. Seemed to work though.
