DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Treat each over-wintering hive with 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of menthol during the period when there is no surplus honey flow and daytime temperatures are expected to reach at least 60
degrees Fahrenheit.

Menthol should be enclosed in approximately a 7 inch square plastic screening or similar porous packet placed on the top bars is the preferred method of treatment at temperatures below a daytime high of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If daytime high is above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, place the menthol packet on the bottom board. Replace the packets in the over-wintering hive with fresh packets as needed to maintain menthol in the hive. Ten to twelve weeks after the initial treatment remove all menthol packets from the hive. Remove all menthol packets from hives at least 1 month before the beginning of the surplus honey
flow to prevent contamination of marketable honey.

The use of menthol in areas where there is no stop in brood production may result in a reduction in
honey production.

Worker Safety Reentry Interval: The reentry time is zero, but when opening treated hive, allow accumulated vapors to vent before working hive. This label must be in the possession of the user at the time of the pesticide application.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

STORAGE:

Treatment timing specific to Pennsylvania

Menthol should be applied to tracheal mite-infested colonies in early
autumn because tracheal mite are most damaging during winter. To use
these menthol application recommendations:

1) First, find the location(s) of each apiary as closely as possible on the menthol map. You may need to consult a road map of the area to determine the exact location.

2) For each apiary location, note the map color given.

3) Use the map color key to find the recommended autumn menthol application date for each apiary. If you apply menthol on or before the recommended date, the menthol will vaporize sufficiently to result in successful tracheal mite treatment in all but abnormally cold years. If menthol is applied after the recommended date, it is unlikely that you will receive a complete menthol treatment.

4) Refer to the previous menthol instructions for proper use and
application in bee hives.
