A new varroa treatment will be available in the USA soon which might mean that it comes to the UK at some point afterwards.
"Amiflex is a 7-day treatment that can be used 1-4 times a year. The new gel formulation provides a faster release of amitraz than plastic strip applications, achieving 94% efficacy on the 3rd day of application and 100% on the 7th day in broodless colonies. Amiflex also ensures a quick knock-down of varroa mites in the presence of brood with one or two applications, according to the infestation rate".

I know that many beekeepers don't like using 'hard' chemicals however it may have it's uses from time to time if it is approved for use here.
