>wonder if anyone knows a way to avoid the very irritating fumes when you apply formic pads?
We take the pads to the field after being held in a chest freezer at
least overnight. Have insulated a few old supers so the pails tie into
the load nicely. If we're working the yard, we do all the hives first
and then break out the PPE (respirator, rubber gloves and face shield)
and Formic last thing before we leave. Pads go on quickly with very
little vapour.
