Flumethrin Strips were also widely used as a product to control varroa mites. The effect is remarkable against varroa mites that are highly resistant to fluvalinate.
While the mite-killing effect is outstanding, the dosage of the drug placed in Flumethrin Strips is small. In addition, penetrant and sustained-release agents are also added to continuously kill mites with low-dose drugs which is safer for bees, has longer-lasting drug effects and is less likely to leave residues.
