How to Use
- Step 1: Before you use Hot Shot No Pest Strips, measure the cubic feet of the area you want to treat. You can do this by measuring the length, width, and height of the area, then multiplying these numbers together (length x width x height = cubic feet). One 65 gram strip will treat up to 900 to 1200 cubic feet.
- Step 2: Remove the pre-assembled Hot Shot No Pest Strip from the sealed bag and place in the desired location away from windows and out of reach of children and pests.
- Step 3: Record the date of installation so that the old strip may be replaced with a new, fresh, full-strength strip at the end of the four (4) month period or when effectiveness diminishes.

Q:Does this kill fleas? It says “other bugs as listed”. What other bugs?6/1/23A:Unfortunately, it does specify this information on the Hot Shot No Pest Strips product label or manufacturer website. You may contact the manufacturer, SPECTRUM BRANDS, directly for this information, but its not stated on the label so it probably does not control fleas. You can also refer to our flea control article for suggested products and tips to get rid of this pest. https://www.hotshot.com/Contact-Us.aspx https://www.solutionsstores.com/flea-control
