Mite Away Quick Strips should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to control viruses. Monitor Varroa levels and treat when economic thresholds (ratio of mites to bees) are reached. Economic thresholds vary by region and season; check with local advisors. Allow a minimum of one month between applications for full dose treatments, and follow up every 2 to 6 weeks with single strip applications throughout the beekeeping season.
