>>Why was amitraz pulled from the market? I've heard several reasons.<<

Amitraz is still available for use on pear trees for pear psylla.

Many orchards with other fruit trees (like mine) do not raise pear trees as they draw pests such as the pear psylla. Thanks to amatraz I can also raise many varieties of European & Asian pears along with apples & peaches.

The largest apple grower in the state said he does not want a pear tree within flying distance of his apple trees.
