> 300 mites falling on the first day and then 2 mites a day for the next 8.  That first blast is lost in the averaging process.  Still it's not great, but then that's no surprise for Apistan or Hopguard.  Apivar?  Nothing good lasts forever.

Wow. Good call Kristina! This reminds me of one of those "word problems" we used to get in grade school. Like "If you stand on a moving escalator, you take 90 seconds to get to the top. If you walk on an escalator that is not moving, it takes you 60 seconds to reach the top. How long would it take you to get to the top, if you were to walk on a moving escalator?"

How many times will you have to treat colonies with a product that is 50% effective to obtain the same results as treating with a product that is 95% effective?
