I thought these weren't supposed to be healthy to have around your plants (and people and pets) because they contain Dichlorvos?

I have used them but will only take them out of the bag and hang inside the grow for about a day. After a day I put it back into a sealed bag until I need it again.

No pest strips and nerve gas come to mind.It just scares me.I have good success with insect soap and pytherins. Not paying attention was what screwed me.These are hot dry mites and misting stops them. I have heard of resistant mites.Guess i would get some pest strips.

I love the no pest strips. You get peace of mind. The spider mites just die. I have tried every spray out there...and they just laughed at my potions. They didn't laugh anymore when I set off a no pest bomb in the room...and hung a strip in the ceiling.
Drink!
Drink!

Used a combo of DynaGro Neem oil & No Pest Strips (which can be found a Lowes) & seems to have knocked em dead..
* Just left it hanging for 3 days then put the strip in a ziplock for a 5 day wait.
Did that cycle 3 times to kill the entire colony - Eggs / Moms / Dads / Kids / Different stages of the mother ****ers..

So, we should hurt are selfs more? If your already causing damage to yourself, I would think we would want to minimize other harms that we have control over. But as you said, to each his own.

seems like the no pest strips helped with thrips, but my homies (mites) don't even notice the no pest strips, they just keep right on humping.
imo Azatrol, or Floramite are your best options for pest control, perhaps the no pest strips work when the infestation is in its infancy, but once they have a foothold on your ladies, good luck....

I heard on another site that NO PEST kills MITES in their tracks - even said that they were dead upon emerging from their eggs! Lol! I went out and bought 2 for a small area that I was having issues with (Classic - who else but a Pot grower is at home depot 5 minutes before close on a weeknite desperately trying to find a garden product). The strips did nothing in my grow! I was pissed and will never use those again.
I have not had to much trouble with pests in my indoor garden, but sometimes those premixed bagged soils come with a lil something extra living in them. Fungus gnats I find are commonly found in the bags kept/sold from outside gardening sections..
These no pest strips work, but not if you continue to run your intake/exhaust fans for circulation while ur using them, and not if your grow room is large, and wide open.. They work great in confined smaller areas such as closets, and grow box type setups. When I'm treating an outbreak I shut down intake/exhaust through the night/lights out period, and remove the strips in the morning when the fans kick back on. They really need that build up time without exhausting to be as effective as they can be.
When they first starting putting these out they were strong enough to take down flying insects mid air, but for safety reasons they had to dilute the dose which is not as effective in open -well circulated areas where u may need more then 1, and may need to shut of exhuast/intake for a period for best results..
