Para is not registered for use in Australia.  In fact the last State to have 
it registered has withdrawn the registration just over a year ago.  I doubt 
that airing will remove the residue.  There was a case in Australia recently 
where some supers that had been treated with para many years ago were used 
and the honey still showed up para residue.  Most supers in Australia are 
stored as "stickies" so it could be that is adding to the problem.  However, 
if they were to be "dried"  by allowing them to be robbed, then there is the 
risk of spreading disease.
