Usage Instructions for Oxalic Acid Treatment

To effectively manage Varroa mites, oxalic acid applied must be used with a vaporizer or as a dribble. For tablet application, per the label, use two 1-gram tablet per brood box in the vaporizer—no measuring is required. For powder use, measure 2 grams of oxalic acid powder per brood chamber. Apply heat according to the vaporizer manufacturer’s instructions until all oxalic acid has sublimated. Always wear protective gear and apply treatments in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
