i know there are a lot of ppl that swear by these Hot Shot No Pest Strips and i have a couple questions.. Can these things be used 24/7 during both day and night cycles? i know a lot of sprays recommend spraying when lights are off only and im wondering if this is the same way. Also can these be used during flowering? or is it like the majority where up to 3 weeks into flowering is usually ok? so thanks to all out there who might have have the answers to my questions.

Hey there is a thread on here from a week or two ago where I posted some relevant information... You can use them any time. Don't breathe them in.. I treat them like they are a bomb..Carbon scrubbers seem to pull the dichlorvos out of the air, so shut them down while treating.
The stuff breaks down in a matter of hours on leaf surfaces.

I have 1 each in my flower and veg room, and guess what? They haven't done jack shit to help out with my Fungus Gnat problem. Losing my mind over these fucking things. I've tried almost EVERYTHING and they won't go away.

are you running a carbon scrubber in there? or venting the air a lot?

right on guys thanks for the info... I was just wondering and i am basically using it as a preventative for problems and just wanted to make i wasn't going to create some other problem by just leaving it in the room.. it is a grow tent so the space is fairly small and i do have an exhuast pulling through a scrubber though.. i only plan on using it for a couple weeks so at least i can put my mind at ease now... thanks again.
