Varrox Vaporizer - Varroa Mite Treatment
The Varrox is a stainless steel pan-style oxalic acid vaporizer that connects to any 12-volt battery. Anti-tip side wings keep it stable inside the hive, and the steel pan is water-resistant for a quick cool-down between colonies.
How it is used
Load the pan with the labeled dose of oxalic acid, insert it through the hive entrance, and connect it to a 12-volt battery until the crystals have sublimated (about 2½ minutes). Seal the entrance to hold the vapor in the box, then remove and cool the pan before the next hive. Always follow the rates, timing, and protective-equipment directions on your oxalic acid product's label.
