VarroxSan - Slow-Release Oxalic Acid Strips
The long awaited, slow-release oxalic acid strip is finally here!
VarroxSan is a highly effective varroa control treatment, based on oxalic acid dihydrate in slow-release strips, ensuring correct dosage that covers at least three live cycles of the varroa mite. Oxalic acid is an organic compound, naturally found in many plants.
VarroxSan comes in a pack of 60 flexible strips, which can be folded to be applied over the brood frames. In many hive types, one strip of VarroxSan is recommended for every 2.5 frames of bees.
VarroxSan is well-tolerated by honey bees, with no effect on brood or adult bee population. VarroxSan does not leave any detectable residues in wax or honey, nor cause any change to the pH, moisture content or other characteristics of honey.
How to use VarroxSan for Varroa Control
VarroxSan is extremely effective against varroa mites in an easy-to-use strip presentation. To use:
- Select the required number of strips (1 strip for every 2.5 brood-frames of bees in most hive types)
- Fold each flexible strip in half at the middle
- Insert the strips over the frames as shown
- Remove the strips after the full treatment period (42 – 56 days)
VarroxSan can be used at any time of year, is not temperature dependent and is equally effective across diverse hive types and hive management practices. VarroxSan leaves no detectable residues in wax or honey, and where registered may be used when supers are present during a honey flow.
Can NOT be shipped to California.
