There is a fact sheet available for formic.  RTFFAQ.
 
Come to think of it where is the FAQ?
 
I don't think it's been posted in a (long) while.
 
You can find this stuff (and more) though by going to my home page listed
below and following the pointers to the beekeeping home page and (other
interesting spots).
 
If you don't have web access and can't find the FAQ, email me and I'll see
what I can do.
