Mite Away Quick Strips™
(MAQS™) MAQS™ is the third generation
biopesticide produced by NOD
Apiary Products.
Controls varroa and tracheal
mites
Use between 60 and 80 F
MAQS™ replaces Mite Away II
Now thinner than the height of a bee so it fits in the bee-space
between hive parts making it
much easier to apply
MAQS™ is not seen as posing
any risk to the environment or
causing food contamination
