FormicPro 68.2 g - 2 doses (4 strips)
Formicpro represents an effective natural-based solution designed for reliable control of the Varroa destructor mite in bee colonies. Each strip contains 68.2 g of formic acid (Acidum formicum) in gel form wrapped in biodegradable laminated paper. This material functions as a wick in the hive, releasing the active substance in a controlled manner throughout the treatment period.
Key features:
- Active ingredient: formic acid (68.2 g/strip)
- Simple application - strips are placed directly on the top bars of frames
- Natural origin of the active substance compatible with organic beekeeping
- Biodegradable packaging - can be composted after use
- No withdrawal period for honey - honey supers should be removed before application
Dosage and application method:
Use 1 sachet (2 strips) per colony. The strips are placed flat in the lower brood chamber on top of the frames. Do not remove the paper wrapper from the strips! Application period is 7 days, after which the strips can be removed or left until the next honey super is placed. Repeat treatment cycle possible after at least one month.
Recommended application conditions:
- Maximum daily outdoor temperature: 10-29.5°C
- Optimal air flow is essential - ensure the entrance is open across the full width (minimum height 12.5 mm)
