My copy of BBKA News arrived on the doorstep this morning, so I thought I'd browse through it over lunch, and found a full page add for Formic Pro on the back page. Can't find much info on it yet, not even on the maker's website, as it's still 'coming soon', but they claim it 'targets Varroa mites under the brood cap'.
I'm assuming from the name that formic acid is the active ingredient, and I was surprised to hear it worked through the brood cap.
I didn't think there were any varroa treatments that worked for capped brood?
