[PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS]
The product is effective in contact toxicity and stomach poisoning action, and not volatile. Fluvalinate, the active ingredient, may function on the nervous systems of varroa mites. It changes permeability of the synaptic membrane to ions by specific receptors or dissolved in the membrane and selectively acts on the sodium channels. Fluvalinate delays the closing of channel valves, causing a continuous inflow of Na+, then arousing over excitement and spasm, and eventually resulting in varroa mites dying from paralysis. After hanging for half an hour, it comes into effect. During no-brood period, drug applying time may be adjusted from 21 to 28 days to reach a thorough elimination of varroa mites, which is a long-acting product. During brood period please extend drug applying time.
