Hi Bee L:
Our study used HopGuard I. Based on this study I worked with Beta Tech Hop Products company to develop HopGuard II. We tested HopGuard II in fall 2013. We go good results control was 90-95%. However we repeated the study in late spring /summer of 2014. We found efficacy was within 70-80%. We are still working with company for additional improvements of the product. We plan to further testing the HopGuard II in spring and summer 2015.
