Produced now as Nuvan strip made by AMVAC. Also as Hot Shot No Pest Strip. It's not registered in Canada. It's an organophosphate insecticide, a cholinesterase inhibitor action material. Atropine is the antidote. Different ones are formulated for professional use and some for general public use. I think it's a big problem in letting the public use it; they really don't read the instructions that well. I really don't know if I'd include it as a product for your book, unless of course, you are also including other insecticides and pros and cons.

Question: I have a note to myself from the March meeting about increasing moth problems and the usefulness of Vapona. Should I be recommending this?
