Description

There's a new way to get rid of insects in your home, and it's with Spectrum Brands' Hot Shot No-Pest Strip. These unique strips harness controlled release technology, which slowly disperses a deep-penetrating vapor in enclosed areas for up to four months. The clean and scentless vapor evenly disperses throughout the area it is placed, killing flying and crawling insects on contact. The penetrating vapor targets both hidden and visible insects, and goes so far as to prevent new insect infestations while you and your family are away. Simply hang or stand the strip in vacant areas like attics, garages, storage spaces and any other non-living location. Have a boat or an RV? Then Hot Shot No-Pest Strip is all you need to keep them insect-free when they're not being used. One strip can efficiently treat a 10-foot by 13-foot room with an eight-foot ceiling for up to eight months. Do keep in mind that Spectrum Brands' Hot Shot No-Pest Strip should not be used in homes, but is great for garages, attics, crawl spaces, sheds and other areas that are frequented by people for less than four hours a day. Clean, Odorless Insect ProtectionKill flying and crawling bugs in attics, garages, storage spaces, boats, RVs, and cabins with Hot Shot No-Pest Strip. This hanging insect repellent uses advanced controlled-release technology to slowly diffuse a deep, penetrating vapor throughout the enclosed treatment space for up to four months. Its clean, odorless vapor is evenly distributed, killing both visible and hidden insects on contact and preventing new insect infestations.Because it continuously emits vapor, Hot Shot No-Pest Strip is designed to be used in areas occupied by people less than four hours per day, such as garages, attics, or sheds. You can also hang one in your vacation home, cabin, mobile home, or boat while it's not being used.Use RecommendationsOne Hot Shot No-Pest Strip will treat a 10-by-13-foot enclosed room with an 8-foot ceiling. When more than one strip is required--such as larger rooms--keep the strips at least 10 feet apart. Treatment usually lasts for four months; replace with a new, fresh, full-strength strip at the end of four months. Hot Shot No-Pest Strip should not be used around food or in food- handling areas.Before using a treated room or area that has not been occupied for a while (such as a vacation home or RV), remove Hot Shot No-Pest Strips and open doors and windows for a few hours to allow any lingering vapor to dissipate.Controlling InsectsHot Shot No-Pest Strips work against both flies and mosquitoes. For flying insect control specifically, hang or stand the strip in the middle of your treatment area, away from windows. You can even use the strip inside your trash dumpster if you're having a fly problem there. Stand up one strip inside your dumpster and keep the lid on the dumpster closed.Do not use the strip around edibles.

  • This is my go-to and has been for years.
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
I found out about these over 10 years ago and have never needed to shop for a different product. They’re easy work extremely well for fruit flies and if you’ve ever had them, you know how fast you want them gone. This is does the job, quickly and efficiently. Great value for the money. I have for years and I will continue to recommend these to others. ... show more

  • AMAZING!
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
I don't know why or how this works, but it just does. I hang mine from my kitchen sink handle and thetr ate zero flies in my kitchen. It has a very slight odor, but it's not offensive. Flies don't stick to it, they just stay gone. I had a fruit fly situation and hung this. Gone within half an hour worth every penny. ... show more

  • Best $7 I ever spent
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
I've been battling fruit flies all summer and here into fall, It was never a huge infestation, just a few here and there, mostly in the Kitchen, but a few in the bathroom and occasionally buzzing in my face in the den. At first I just thought, well this is just summer in Michigan, bugs are a part of life, but eventually I got to my boiling point of having them buzz by my face one too many times so I decided to do something about it. I tried the home remedies first, all this praise over simple apple cider vinegar, and dish soap, I made several home made traps from recommendations I saw on some Youtube Videos, all swearing by the Apple Cider Vinegar, I put these out around where I saw the flies most frequently, mostly in the kitchen around the sink, and I never caught a single fruit fly, but my whole house stunk of Apple Cider Vinegar. I saw this low down in the recommendations here on Amazon, and thought, what's the worst that could happen, sure it says not to use in your house, but I'm a grown man, with no children or pets to worry about, so I thought worst case, I may get a little sick from it, but if I noticed any ill effects, I could just toss it and be out $7, I just ordered the one, because I had my skepticism and didn't want to waste any more money, if this too was a dud, and if it worked somewhat, and wasn't killing me, I could just order a few more, as it only took a day to get to my house. So on the day it arrived, I took it out of it's package and hung it over the sink. It didn't smell bad, not much of a smell at all really, unless you get right up to it and sniff it (probably not a good idea, it is poison after all, so I'm not recommending you do that). I checked on it two hours later, and the fruit flies were still hanging out around the sink, so I thought, well this doesn't work either. Gave it another two hours though, and checked again, and not a fruit fly one anywhere in sight. Not only that, I haven't seen a single one of those little buggers since anywhere in the house. They're just gone, Vanished. I imagine the died off somewhere, but they're so small, that unless they're moving, they're hard to spot, I'd imagine that many a little fruit fly carcass will have been vacuumed up, or else went back down the drain to die. I've left it hung up these last few days, just in case, but haven't noticed any ill effect to my health, no lingering odor, and no ill effect to any food I've prepared in the area. I'll probably take it down in a few more days just to be safe and move it out to the garage to kill off some bugs out there as it's supposed to last up to 40 days, so maybe I'll be able to get rid of any spiders or insects that have decided to winter in there out of this thing as well, which is a bonus. As far as the "Don't use it in your House" warnings, I'm convinced now that it's just some legal safety net for the company rather than an actual real danger. Long term exposure, who knows, maybe if you kept it up in an area you frequent for the full 40 days, yeah, it could start to affect you, but for a day or to to let it knock out the problem, you'll probably be fine. I can tell you one thing for sure though, I'll be buying a few more of these once spring comes back around to place out in my garage and on my back porch where I always have problems with flies and spiders so I can see how this thing really handles, and next time I get any fruit flies, this will be my first step in eliminating them rather than the last thing I try. Simply enough, IT WORKS! ... show more

  • Yes.. it works.. I'm a rebel.. I used it in my apartment.. ADD be damned!!!
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
Okay... so I read the other reviews in regards to not using this in "living" areas... I read several of them... but you know what.. I was desparate, and desperate times called for desperate measures... I had already had a mild fruit fly problem in my small apartment (about 750 square feet).. and like a bubblehead... I left one morning in a hurry after making a smoothie and neglected to clean up.. I managed to leave a few strawberries on the counter right next to an unfinished glass of wine.. I then left and didn't return for about three days.. I came home to the Fruit-FlyAgeddon.. Fruit-Apocolypse... It was HORRIBLE. I spent the entire weekend, swatting flies away from my face, my laptop screen, my television screen.. I even tried vacuuming them from the various areas they would land.. I spent hours over the course of a weekend waving my vacuum hose around in my living room like some cracked out Ninja with a lame sword trying in vain to suck up the little mutants as they flit around my apartment. And then it happened. I went to open my bedroom window; and there it was. The Fruit Fly Village. In my bedroom window.. hundreds of them... milling about. Shopping, playing, singing, dining, mocking me. It was 20 degrees outside and I had to sleep with a fan blowing towards me to keep the little mutants from landing on me while I tried in vain to sleep beneath Fruit Fly Village.. I literally cried myself to sleep. Because I realized.. those little freaks had been in my apartment.. all along. Just waiting for me to mess up.. and I did.. I fought them over the long Thanksgiving Weekend.. and first tried the vinegar/dishsoap thing.. I freaked out when I saw all the bodies floating.. but the vinegar just seemed to draw them out.. it wasn't alleviating the problem.. It was merely punctuating the severe issue that I had.. Then, after returning home one evening It was then that I cracked. I could not cook in my kitchen as they would land everywhere.. I couldn't even hang out in my living room.. While trying to watch the Mindy Project I spent the entire show swatting them away from my face... And I definitely couldn't enjoy a glass of beloved wine.. I couldn't even put my makeup on in my bathroom without one of the mutants landing on my foundation on my face, I even swallowed a couple of them during a workout... Yes.. I couldn't even enjoy my Tae-Bo... They had taken over.. I'd had it... I hopped online and immediately ordered the No-Pest Strip... Prime Membership.. spent the extra $3.99 to get it the next day..I thought to myself... I will risk the adult onset ADD.. This must end... I want my life back. I hung it up... and after a few hours.. noticed that nothing was flying around my head as I watched television.. but I think it was all in my mind.. I decided to go to bed.. place it in my tiny kitchen.. and see what would happen. I closed myself up in my bedroom to try to minimize the ADD fumes.. The next morning.. I noticed not much.. I dressed for work and left. Upon arriving home.. I began to notice.. the tiny carcasses on my kitchen counter.. I cleaned them all.. In my bathroom, I noticed a few carcasses in my tub. OMG.. could it be working? There was a faint smell.. not intrusive.. but just enough to remind me that the ADD stick was working.. Then, the big test.. I sat on my sofa to watch television.. I was only accosted by one lone fruit fly.. I was winning.. And now.. the battle is almost won. It has eliminated 90% of the mutants.. I made the mistake of forgetting to plug in the drains in the kitchen and just went and found quite a few plotting their attack.. I attacked them with a bottle of Clorox and some very hot water.. I am strong now Mutants.. I am winning. Yeah.. this stuff works.. I have my bedroom back.. they are gone.. only a few here and there.. Easy to kill.. I will let it hang for two more days.. and then discard my ADD stick.. I have my apartment back! ... show more

  • Keeps insect pests out of pantry and pet supplies.
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
I have put these in the pantry and it's eliminated any infestation that we've had in the past. I also have wood containers for bags of pet food and they've been targeted by insects. Putting one of these in the container next to the bag has eliminated finding pests in the container or the pet food. None of the pets have exhibited any ill effects from the strips being in the wooden container, I do keep the pet food bags closed. Because they've quietly kept pests out of our pantry and pet food at a very reasonable price I highly recommend them. ... show more

  • Effective in enclosed space.
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
Was having horrible trouble with flies and maggots in our outside trash can. Wedged this in the crease where the handle is on the inside (similar another reviewer's picture) and have not seen the first fly or maggot in weeks - even in the dog days of summer. Will repurchase for next year - hopefully before it becomes a problem. Coworker ordered one for her dumpster. Cannot speak for more open area - this is in a closed outdoor trash bin. ... show more

  • No pest strips
Size: 1 Pack Style: Pest Strip
They seem to work somewhat, I still have flying bugs but doesn't seem to be as many. I have tons of flying bugs without the strips. I hang one by each door outside.
