    I read somewhere on the forum that the gas mothballs release kill bbs? Anyone has any opinions? I'm thinking of doing the un-thinkable of doing just that, rather than using cedar balls for my clothes in storage.

    My clothes in storage have all gone through the rigor of hot water and high heat drying, but just to be triple sure no bbs or eggs exist.

    Opinions? Facts?

    Thanks!

    Small Amvac Nuvan Strips (DDVP) (16 gram) would be a low odor approach that could be used for additional assurance.

    Talk with your PCO ... Nuvan strips are labeled for bed bugs treatment in unoccupied storage areas.

    Do the strips work for eggs as well? How long should stuff remain in the bag? Just wondering if this is a good way to decontaminate electronics when coming back from a trip.
