The repackaging of any insecticide for resale requires an EPA Est. number and the consent of the manufacturer. That's why you will see EPA Reg. No.2724-406 on the Apistan 10 & 100 packs for the registration and EPA Est. No 2724-TX-1 on the Establishment Number, where the stuff is packaged. James Fischer posted the following last November 25th: http://listserv.albany.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0211D&L=bee-l&P=R1072 This is important reading for the use of Apistan. One important point that the post made was: In the United States, the instructions on the label are the law. They must be followed, even if varying from what the authors say in the above article or other writings on the subject. In addition, when applying Apistan(R), or any reg- istered chemical, the person must have in his possession a copy of the label. Call Dadant, Mann Lake, or Brushy Mountain Bee Farm, USA Distributors for Apistan, and ask for a copy of the the labeling instructions; and, while you are at it ask for the Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS, as well. When applying pesticides at anytime it is always best to read the label, if you have questions or do not understand something ask the Distributor or a licensed pesticide dealer, you are paying for their services as well as the product.
