Varrox Oxalic Acid Vaporizer

Allows for controlled transfer of heat to vaporize the acid.

$174.95

See our Beekeeper’s Guide to Using Oxalic Acid.

This vaporizer comes with “side” wings that serve to keep the vaporizer from overturning in the hive.

The operator must use a respirator with an organic acid filter when treating with oxalic acid as well as gloves and goggles.

  • Load the cup of the vaporizer with one gram (per brood chamber) of oxalic acid and insert it in the hive.
  • Seal the entrance using a foam strip or rags.
  • Connect the leads to the battery for 2-1/2 minutes.
  • Leave the vaporizer in place an additional 2 minutes.
  • The vaporizer can now be removed and you can move on to the next hive.
  • The hive should remain sealed an additional 10 minutes to allow the vapors to fully distribute in the hive.
