Apivar

[linoleum bonypart]

Who will be using Apivar (amitraz) this year??

 

[Ashley_apiaries]

I've always used Apiguard but as I can't get hold of the buckets anymore I think I'm going to try Apivar most and Maqs on a handful as a comparison as I've used Maqs before but it's expensive

TAKTIC has been around for some time under many different names, first registered as a flea control for dogs has been widely used since 1972???

Seem to recall that Boots were sued because someones poochiepoo... pom or chiwawa died from an overdose..... hell of a lot more toxic than Oxallic Acid.
Known to kill hamsters dead
Would handle with great care!!

No it's not. Mode of action is not similar to neonicotinoids.

Well wiki says it is.... Imidacloprid

 

[Erichalfbee]

Not me. I used a couple of strips in an emergency situation last year.
Still OAV for me
I might delve into oxalic strips if I have a problem hive like last year

 

[Etton]

Why not vape OA as before?

Apivar contains Amitraz not Imadacloprid.

It's a pyrethroid - look at the damage that did - to both humans and the environment
