Pharmacological Actions:

Fluvalinate acts as a potent insecticide targeting the nervous system of bee mites. It also affects the olfactory organs, producing a repellent chemical reaction against the mites. This mechanism is similar to that of other pyrethroids. The product can eliminate up to 90% of bee mites through contact and stomach poison. After several hours of exposure, the mites fall from the bees and die within 14 hours. It is safe for bees and does not adversely affect the three types of bees, while having minimal impact on humans and animals. However, it may degrade when interacting with alkaline pesticides.

Cautions:

1. Strips should remain in the beehive for no longer than 6 to 8 weeks.
2. When handling strips, wear gloves and masks. Avoid smoking, drinking, or eating. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
3. Used strips cannot be reused or recycled.
4. Keep strips away from honey, pesticides, and other chemicals.
5. Due to variations in powder source, climate, and bee colony conditions, it is advisable to dry strips in the sun before use.
6. Keep away from food and children. Open the package only when ready to use.
7. This product is volatile and effective in temperatures ranging from 8°C to 28°C.

Kind Reminder: It is recommended to conduct a trial with 1-2 groups before large-scale use and observe the results after 48 hours.
