Wax Moth
Come to us for the best solution
The damage caused by wax moth larvae permeates your hive reproduction, comb storage, and bee product processing.
To control wax moths, you must combine ecological regulation, physical extermination, biological intervention, and chemical treatments to form a multi-dimensional prevention and control network
Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella) and Lesser Wax Moth (Achroia grisella), the most destructive lepidopteran pests in beekeeping. They go through four life stages with distinct characteristics:
Wax moth strips are a commonly used pest tool in both physical and chemical control methods. Beekeepers primarily use them to repel or inhibit wax moths (hive insects) from laying eggs and larvae in their hive.
You should take advantage of the metabolic heat produced by large wax moth larvae. When you inspect your combs in winter, pay attention to areas with abnormal local temperatures and promptly eliminate any potential sources of infestation.
You have used organic, physical, and biological methods to control mites. However, sometimes you feel that these medications are not effective or troublesome.
When the number of bee mites in a bee colony is large enough, conventional dosages are no longer enough to kill them. Moreover, some bee mites have already developed early resistance to pesticides.
Are you troubled by the persistent rain and humidity? The efficacy of the bee strip treatments might decline. Switch to liquid and aerosol formulations such as LINGMAN Amitraz or AMIBUZZ Spray.
You value colony stability and hope to minimize the frequent replacement of bee strips during mite control. In this case, consider slow-release options, such as APIXPERT strips or VAROXPERT strips.
