Apitraz is a highly effective, easy to use varroa treatment that kills up to 98%* of mites. When seasonally rotated with Bayvarol, Apitraz offers a fast and efficient way of controlling Varroa mites in your hives throughout the year. 

Apitraz® is an Amitraz based product for the treatment of Varroa Destructor in Apis Mellifera. Treatment with Apitraz requires you to use two easy-to-use strips per brood box. This will provide the correct dose to control Varroa and prevent resistence from occuring.

Benefits

Features

• Each strip contains 500mg of Amitraz – a substance highly toxic to Varroa but safe for bees and queens
