Amvac Chemical, a business unit of American Vanguard, introduced Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol, a new broad-spectrum aerosol spray that can be used to control bed bugs, bed bug eggs, beetles, carpet beetles, cockroaches, crickets, fleas and other pests. Nuvan provides almost immediate control of labeled pests, the company said, adding that its active ingredient, dichlorvos (DDVP), is one of the most effective active ingredients to use against bed bugs, including pyrethroid-resistant bed bug strains. Additionally, the firm says, DDVP has a long history as a successful and efficacious pesticide product.
The aerosol has both contact and vapor action to affect and kill insects present in the immediate treatment area, which helps control pests not in the visible treatment swath and not directly contacted with spray droplets. For effective bed bug control, Nuvan should be applied directly to bed bugs or areas where they are known to have been present. It will not stain or discolor the treated area; however, PMPs should conduct a test application on a hidden area of the target surface prior to application. The aerosol may not be applied as a broadcast treatment or space spray. For localized application, a two-second application of product per 4 to 5 linear feet should be applied from a distance of 12 to 15 inches from the treated surface. Treated areas should not be reoccupied for at least two hours after application.
Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol can be applied in localized areas of homes, commercial buildings, apartments, cabins, garages, basements, factories, hotels, warehouses and other commercial and industrial buildings. Additional areas include non-food and non-feed areas of food/feed processing, manufacturing and service establishment sites, including lavatories, floor drains, entries and offices. Consult the label for additional application sites and full application requirements.
