The Dichlorvos in the control strip is highly volatile and will be gone within a few days of drying/curing after harvest, assuming you don't dry/cure in the same room as the strips.

As for it getting in soil and entering through the roots, the molecule is too big to freely pass through the root plasma membrane. You would need a severe wound to the roots or you would need some major ionic imbalance to force it in via osmosis.
