Nuvan Prostrips +
Nuvan Prostrips + are plastic encasements that slowly release vapors to kill insects in enclosed areas for up to 4 months. One strip will treat 900 to 1,200 cubic feet.
09/13/25
Nuvan Prostrips +, manufactured by AMVAC, is a ready-to-use vaping insecticide strip infused with the active ingredient dichlorvos 18.6%. This ingredient eliminates targeted pests by damaging their nervous systems.
Nuvan Prostrips + controlled release technology to gradually emit a deep-penetrating, odorless vapor that circulates evenly throughout enclosed spaces. Effective for up to four months, it kills both visible and hidden insects on contact and helps prevent new infestations—making it ideal for use while you're away.
This is a clean and odorless pest control vapor strip that can easily be placed or hung to control biting, stinging, and other flying pests within enclosed spaces. It can eliminate insects that bite, crawl, or carry diseases for up to four months.
Tools Needed
This product comes ready to use, and no other application tools are needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how many Nuvan Prostrips to use by measuring the cubic feet of the treatment area. Measure the length, width, and height of the treatment area and multiply these numbers together (length x width x height = cubic feet). One 65 gram strip will treat between 900 and 1,200 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.
