For those of you who are interested, Bill has been a pioneer and advocate of 
using formic acid in North America.  He has worked hard and published a lot 
of information.  He does have a proprietary application method that has been 
discussed here previously, but much of his material applies to formic 
generally.  I am quoting his latest missive below for any who are 
interested.

Hi from Canada,

The last 3 months in St. Lucia and your last year input are reflected in 
changes now on the web.

2009 Edition of Handbook:

New Tropical Instructions:

We developed tropical screen bottom which can be used in any wet climate, 
and wood bottoms can be easily modified to use this principle anywhere.

 This resulted in a revision to:

Simplified Instructions for Temperate Climates:

If you are holding any beekeeping programs and can use handbooks on formic 
acid use, please let me know.  I have last few hundred of tabloid form.  To 
mail, I need 3 weeks notice.  The updated version can be downloaded from my 
website:  http://www.mitegone.com.

SEMINARS:  I will be travelling to Florida this early October from BC - 
Northwest Washington - Idaho - Montana - Central States to South Eastern 
states to Florida  where I will be till December , early December  I will go 
south route  I 10 to Phoenix Arizona and fly home .  In spring,  April from 
Arizona north to BC CANADA,  I can side track  from this route if there is 
interest.  If you are interested in formic acid seminars, 
http://www.mitegone.com/seminar.asp see the program on the website and let 
me know.

There is a lot of new information.  It works in Florida and St. Lucia, from 
where I just returned.   People using formic acid do not seem to have the 
problems other people do.
