I have no personal experience, but it is said to be less effective than
Apistan or Bayvarol and leave residues.  Apply 20ml of 2% solution in a
pad placed on the floor board.  Leave the hive entrance clear.  Use at
the end of the summer flow and again in the autumn.  It is not approved
in all countries.
