Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol
05/17/26
Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol, manufactured by AMVAC, is a aerosol spray that releases enough insecticide to kill insects on contact and through its vapor action, which allows people and pets to safely enter the treated area when its dried.
Specially formulated with the active ingredient dichlorvos 0.5% to control pests that have become resistant to other chemicals like bed bugs. A simple 2 minute spray application ensures reapplication is not necessary until a month after first treatment, making it an economical product.
Nuvan Directed Spray Aerosol provides complete control of difficult-to-eliminate pests in those hard to reach areas in various indoor areas. This product is the aerosol version of the popular Nuvan ProStrip products.
