The No Pest strips are not to be used in a house. They are for seldom used areas such as garageds and storage buildings. No more than 4 hours exposure a day listed on the package although I limit the time i am in the grow room to an hour or less a day when i have one up.

I have never noticed any problems with the strips but i do not grow in my house. DO NOT use these if you grow in your house. Also I only hang the strip for a week at most if it hasn't killed the bugs by then its not going to kill them.

I'm going with CG on this. Had the same issues with my last grow. I water cured half and air cured half. water cure sucks.lol first try. I just sprayed with clean water for a few days and added extra air movement to help dry the buds. came out fine. even the water cure after about two weeks.

Would the ladybugs work OK with out a cover over the HID? I've heard they have a tendency to fly up in to the lights to their death.

I've personally never had a bug problem & thus not needed to use controls. But them flying into the light sounds logical.

Anyone who thinks it is safe to use HotShot Strips in their garden with no side effects is greatly mistaken. Just playing Russian Roulette. Doktor Doom foggers and Knockout spray. 100% organic. Pyrethrin is actually made from flowers, mums that is. You can use them right up until the day before harvest, no worries.

So are you saying Doctor Doom Fogger and Knockout spray is organic? If so where do you find them.

I assume the soap is being used as a wetting agent? If thats the case could one use one of the hypoallergetic soaps that have no chemical scents?
Thanks for the input, I like simple fixes that don't involve complex man made chemicals.
