Apologies for my quick return of posts, but I'm killing time sitting in the
hospital...

My own testing of Formic Pro indicated that it has exactly the same formic
release rate as MAQS:

The extra ingredient is sawdust, which gives it a longer shelf life, makes
it safer to apply, and causes the bees to remove the strips after they're
spent (a big help).
But as with most any treatment tested, there are outliers and anomalies.
