    Hello,
Taktic (in Czech republic VARIDOL, active substance Amitraz) is
a basic medicament in Czech republic on control V-mites.
The ways of application:
1. Fumigation - 2 drops on the smoulder strips, 3 times from 10.10.
until 30.12. at the temperature above 10 C.
2. Spray - the wather emulsion. This method is rarely used. I don't
remember dosing.
 
Other medicaments, which are used for V-mites control in Czech
republic:
1. GABON PF 90/Fluvalinat/contact strips
2. GABON PA 92/Acrinathrine/contact strips
3. MAVRIK/Fluvalinat/coat brood
4. MP-10/Fluvalinat/fumigation
5. Formic acid/evaporating boards
