I appreciate the help folks.
 Most seem to be in agreement that use of the extender patties is a definate
idea(btw has terramyacin been "offically" approved for use in patties?)
But a coupla of the other suggestions
 Like call the local inspector apparently Ga has an incredibly weak
inspection program in my area i.e.  its optional and even then takes a while
to get response.
 And the gentleman that I got the equipment was a somewhat uneducated
individual and didnt "hold" with inspectors But by the same token he didnt
know how to deal with the Wax moth either SO no old infected comb to deal
with (just reinforcment wire)
thanks again
