Why go to the trouble to make our own?
First. We find making & handling the mite wipes no more trouble a than
ordering, transporting & storing MAQs.
Second, we're making several 1000 each season, so huge cost difference.
Thirdly, we do seemly get better efficacy. Some MAQs took forever to
emit product.
And last, but most importantly, although seemingly better than their
predecessors Miteaways and Miteaway IIs, even our limited testing of
MAQS screwed up more hives than all the applications of Mite Wipes ever
did. They may work in a perfect world, but in western Canada where
dramatic temperature swings can occur (even several times in a given
day), you're just asking to kill brood, queens or the whole bloody hive.
Each time I kicked myself for believing that they somehow got it right
this time.
