>Isn't phostoxin an organo phosphate pesticide similar to checkmite
(coumaphos)?
Merry Christmas, Medhat--nothing like a little Bee-L before the family wakes
up! The "phosphenes" or organophosphates. The product of Phostoxin is
"phosphine" gas, which is a natural (though highly toxic) compound (PH3)
which leaves no residue.
It is currently approved for use on stored combs. Don't breath the fumes!
