    This paper proves that slow/low dose prolonged treatments with formic acid will provide sufficient control of Varroa without negative effects.

    

  • SCIENTIFIC ESSAYS ABOUT MITEGONE™ METHOD(VARROA DESTRUCTOR ORGANIC TREATMENT.)
    Fleitas, J.L.; Rodriguez, A.B.; De la Fe, C.; Corbera, A.S., Gran Ca Naria Island, Spain. April 2005.
    English version of the Spanish original. Before you complain about his English attempt to write this paper in Spanish. This paper proves that even very high infestations (100+) can be controlled in the fall by four half-pads, to have the spring natural drop below 10 mites. Also, with high infestation the multiples of efficacy of 4-5 are sufficient efficacy. In the spring, with low infestation, the multiples of efficacy reached 35 times, comparable to 95-100% efficacy.
    Note: Table on page 7 is for March, not October. See pages 8/9 for summary of results.

    Ruthers University, Dep. Of Agriculture NJ. 2004.
    This paper compares MiteGone one-pad treatment with other methods, even using one pad for 30 days had an efficacy of 79% in single colonies, 69% in double-high. Our standard treatment is two pads for single colonies, three pads for double colonies.

    Adony Melathopoulos, J.Gates, and B. Ruzicka, Kelowna, BC, Canada, May – August 2000.
    This was a first test for MiteGone. While vertical installation of 2 pads between frame and wall was similar to Apistan (no resistance in 2000), the horizontal application on top of frames did not provide good results, similar to untreated colonies.
