Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol

Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol, manufactured by AMVAC, is an aerosol spray that releases enough insecticide to kill insects on contact and through its vapor action.
It is specially formulated with the active ingredient dichlorvos 0.5% to control pests resistant to other chemicals, like bed bugs. A simple 2-minute spray application ensures reapplication is not necessary until a month after the first treatment, making it an economical product.
Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol provides complete control of difficult-to-eliminate pests in hard-to-reach areas in various indoor areas. This product is the aerosol version of the popular Nuvan ProStrip products.
