Caution when using "Hot Shot No-Pest Strips." - Page 7 - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello all,

It occurs to me that one group of growers prefer one poison over another and have pros and cons for the other methods.

If you are going to use a poison, why then worry about the relative safety of the product.

I use NPS and had no problems.

Others use floramite with great success.

Its easier to get the NPS at a local hardware store.

Right now you can get floramite cheap on ebay.

Anyway, if you have to use pesticides, may as well nuke the bastasds.

As to poisons ingested...if you knew what the american food industry allows into our food supply would make you run screaming into the night...by the way, NPS (diclorves)sp is used in great quanities in warehouses where food is stored in bulk.

Check out Food Inc.

just my point of view.

I have one that I put out from time to time. I keep it in a ziplock when I aint using it.

During lights out I will usually stick in the no pest strip and also turn off the ventilation and then let the no pest strip do its thing in the non circulated room. Then remove in the morning and repeat every night for 5 - 7 nights. Then I put it away for a good month or two.

They work, just don't chill with them near by.

Everything i read about Dichlorovis(sp) said that it can't be absorbed by plants, not thru the roots or leafs. I wish I would have saved the link cause i did alot of searching to find good info.

There is no doubt the fumes are toxic to animals and humans. They are also heavier than air... so it will concentrate at the bottom of the house. Good or bad depending on if someone lives or sleeps in the basement or 1st floor if you don't have a basement.

How effective a product is at eradicating insects has NO relation on how toxic that product is to humans.

When are people going to start understanding this!

being alive causes cancer. new car smell causes cancer. coffee causes cancer. chemical sweeteners cause cancer.

i live in an asbestos house. with an asbestos garage [the miracle fiber of the 1950s!]

a no-pest strip is the least of any of our worries.

Some of you just need to take a chill pill... Why are some arguing to the fact that the chemical is absolutely harmful to humans and animals? I dont get it, its like you want people to start licking these things before they go to sleep at night.

Some of you make good points but most of them are completely irrelevant. Like the above post... (Just using your post as an example.)

This thread is simply means as for growers to use them correctly and to use "caution" when using these strips. Like I said again, I use them myself, they are effective at getting rid of mites. But, I seldom use them and if I do, I take the proper precautions so that even if it did indeed cover my plants with something that may harm them or us, that no one would suffer any ill effects and the maryjane that we consume is safe for everyone. Not to mention again, that some people use these things wrong, and have their family, pets, and themselves breathing in this chemical for a long period of time.

This threads just here for information, its not here to hurt you guys... haha

Maybe DDT could make a comeback?

Actually nothing would surprise me lately.
