Why go to the trouble to make our own?

First. We find making & handling the mite wipes no more trouble a than 
ordering, transporting & storing MAQs.
Second, we're making several 1000 each season, so huge cost difference.
Thirdly, we do seemly get better efficacy. Some MAQs took forever to 
emit product.
And last, but most importantly, although seemingly better than their 
predecessors Miteaways and Miteaway IIs, even our limited testing of 
MAQS screwed up more hives than all the applications of Mite Wipes ever 
did.  They may work in a perfect world, but in western Canada where 
dramatic temperature swings can occur (even several times in a given 
day), you're just asking to kill brood, queens or the whole bloody hive.
Each time I kicked myself for believing that they somehow got it right 
this time.
