Formic Acid - Hot Temperatures?

[Eric Conceicao]

Hello all,
I am interested in hearing about the effectivenss of Formic acid pads/baggies (either 50% or 65% solutions method) during hot months in which temperatures are in the 90s. I have heard that at these hotter temperautres, it may be damaging to the colonies - if this is the case I may opt for a Thymol based product instead. Experiences/Advice is appreciated!

Ya, anything over 90 your supposed to pull the pads off. I had it on a hive @ 85 and it was driving the bees out. Luckily I was there and pulled the pads.
