Hi all

I have had many years' experience using formic acid pads, both commercial and ones we made at the lab. We found them to be very effective, if the weather was warm enough. Unfortunately when we used it in the autumn, it seldom was warm enough. 

Many folks in this region have been extremely successful with flash formic treatments. Many of us here in NY State have been lobbying hard for the approval of MAQs as, in principle, they seem ideal for our climate conditions. And no, I haven't tried them.
