Can I use Bedlam Plus, Cimexa Dust and Nuvan Pro Strips inside a truck cab with gnats, and sometimes spiders or fleas inside?

I have searched for "truck" and "car" in the Q&A section and read a dozen hits on how to deal with bug / spider / flea / cockroach infestations. Recommendations include: D-Force HPX spray, Demon WP, Cy-Kick aerosol, SteriFab, and Ultracide. I also plan to remove and treat my leather heated / cooled ventilated seat covers b/c I think there may be some critters hiding inside there. For that I have considered putting Nuvan strips inside the seats and parking the vehicle for a couple of day before airing it out so the fumes can get around. Most of the center console, doors, dash and trim are hard plastic (2012 F150). The floors are carpeted, the ceiling is fabric, and there is a sunroof.

Answer:

Before starting your treatment, we recommend a thorough vacumming of the vehicle. Discard the contents of the vacuum immediately in a bag and put in a separate trash container. Bedlam Plus aerosol can be used on the seats, tufts and folds and will provide a contact kill and leave a residual for up to 2 weeks.   After the Bedlam has dried, Cimexa Dust can be applied under the seats, along cracks and crevices, tracks for seats and directly to the carpeted areas. Insecticide dusts are meant to be applied as a light dusting, you do not want to clump or over apply. Using a brush, work the cimexa dust into the upholstered areas and carpets. Repeat vacuuming daily or every other day. Refer to product label for specific instructions regarding your treatment.  Nuvan Strips are labeled for use in vehicles and as long as you follow the Nuvan Product Label they should work very well and not cause any damage.
