EZ-OX is a newly EPA-approved oxalic acid miticide approved in most states as a safe, legal way to treat colonies for varroa mites. EZ-OX is the first oxalic acid in the U.S. approved for vaporization at a dose of 2 grams per brood box, which is supported by ongoing university research that suggests this higher dose of oxalic acid is more effective for mite control, without harming the bees or brood.
EZ-OX can be used with honey supers in place.
Oxalic acid is most effective when applied to colonies with no capped brood for the mites to shelter in. Repeated applications can be made when colonies are raising brood, though this may be less effective than needed for complete mite control during the brood-rearing season.
In tablet form, EZ-OX is pre-measured and compressed into tablets that each contain 1 gram of oxalic acid. These can be used for vaporization treatments by easily counting out the number of grams you wish to apply and putting the tablets into your vaporization device. Follow all printed safety instructions when using an oxalic acid vaporizer.
Four 1-gram tablets will fit in the measuring cylinder of the and the measurement lid of the Vaporizer
