Varroa Oxalic Acid Vaporizer

Heavy Duty Oxalic Acid Vaporizer Varrox Vaporizer is the one of the highest-ranked models. If you have more than 10 hives or just want the very best this is the one for you. The pan is made of stainless steel which allows an even and controlled transfer of the heat thus preventing the overheating of the oxalic acid. Oxalic acid that is overheated decays and builds formic acid and CO2 thus reducing efficacy very fast and significantly

Varroa and Tracheal Mite Treatment
The vaporization of oxalic acid in beehives is a proven method of killing both Varroa and Tracheal mites. This vaporizer comes with "side" wings that serve to keep the vaporizer from overturning in the hive. Load the cup of the vaporizer with one gram (per brood chamber) of oxalic acid. Insert it in the hive and connect it to any 12 volt car battery. The vaporization will complete in 2 -1/2 minutes. Disconnect the vaporizer and leave it in the hive for a minute more to seal in the vapors and you're finished! Remove it from the hive and place it in a pail of water (no need to use a wet rag or sponge. If any residue remains in the cup after treatment scrape it out with a stick or other blunt object. Remember to seal the hive for 10 minutes after you remove the vaporizer to lock in the vapors.

Oxalic acid vapors only kill the mites that are on the bees not in the brood. With the hive almost broodless in late fall or early winter that is an excellent time to treat. If the outside temperature is 40 degrees (f) or above you can safely vaporize. You want to go into winter with mite-free hives as the main reasons for winter losses are starvation and mites!
