General note on chemicals: I do not endorse or advise on chemical treatments, as I am not qualified to do so and there may be dangers beyond my control. New products may be introduced or existing ones withdrawn, so it is difficult to keep up with current information on a website such as this. As many of the chemical pages were generated by Dave Cushman, I am leaving the content mainly as left by Dave for historical purposes only, which may mean information is out of date and unreliable. The user should seek guidance from other sources and satisfy themselves regarding safety and legality. Roger Patterson.

The M-1 AER can also be atomised using the smouldering
strip delivery method. 2 spots per strip are used, one strip per hive,
ignite the bottom edge of the strip, when smouldering hang between
brood frames using a nail or hooklet, re-place crown board (inner
cover) and roof (outer cover or lid), close the hive entrance for
1 hour. Give a second treatment after 3 weeks if required,
Supers MUST be taken off during treatment, but can be re-placed after
treatment.
