We do not recommend applying Nuvan ProStrips out in the open or in rooms that will be occupied. Nuvan Prostrips should only be used to treat items in small confined areas such as storage boxes, closets, or cabinets that are not in regular use, or in sealed bags.
It is recommended that you leave items you are treating in the closet while using Nuvan ProStrips. Be sure you can tightly seal off the closet so as not to allow the vapors to escape.
As long as the Nuvan ProStrips are sealed in a bag and not just sitting out in open living space, they are safe.
You want to allow the vapors in an enclosed area to build up to a level that will be lethal to the insects that your are trying to eliminate. Opening and closing the doors to these enclosed spaces may result in poor efficacy. Depending on the insect you are trying to eliminate and the amount of things in the space you will most likely need to keep the Nuvan strips in place for about 2-4 weeks. It is best to make sure things are loosely packed into the areas to insure that the vapors can adequately circulate through the items that need to be treated. You should use one strip in a plastic trash bag or Rubbermaid bin and leave the items in the container with the strip for at least 2 weeks. As long as the bags themselves are not being opened during the treatment process, you can store the sealed bags in your closet with no problem. Pet bedding or clothing may want to be thrown in the washer or dryer just in case to make sure there are no lingering vapors or bugs on the items the pet/persons would come into close contact with.

However, it is worth mentioning that even without placing your clothes in a bag with a nuvan stip for 2 to 4 weeks, anything that will go in a dryer for about 15 minutes on even low heat will kill all stages of bed bugs instantly. So if you are going to wash them anyway and you didn't want to wait for 2 weeks before wearing something, you could wash and dry it and be assured there were no bed bugs when it came out of the dryer.
