Apiguard

Apiguard treatment is designed to control Varroa mite populations in a colony. It’s an effective treatment against Varroa mites, tracheal mites, and chalkbrood. Apiguard is an organic, slow-releasing thymol miticide.

Apiguard is extremely easy to use:

• Place the opened tray face upwards in the top of brood frames, preferably centred over the colony.
• After 10 days examine the tray and if it is almost empty, replace with a second tray. If there is product left in the tray after 10 days leave until day 14 and then replace.
• Leave the second tray in position for a further 2-4 weeks and treatment has been completed (duration of treatment therefore lasts 4-6 weeks).

Apiguard works best in temperatures above 15°C. But it is also effective at lower temperatures even though the gel takes longer to evaporate and the gel needs to be left I place for longer.
