VarroxSan is a new extended release form of varroa control treatment It is ased on oxalic acid dihydrate in slow-release strips that can cover 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 20 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 brood frames covered with bees. VarroxSan is well-tolerated by honey bees. It does not leave any detectable residues in wax or honey, nor cause any change to the pH, moisture content or other characteristics of honey.
VarroxSan is extremely effective against varroa mites in an easy-to-use strip presentation.

VarroxSan uses a resilient fibreboard strip as the medium for oxalic acid, This slows down the removal by the bees, ensuring a high efficacy with a relatively low dose of active ingredient. Our unique impregnation system ensures that each strip contains an identical quantity of active ingredient, giving a reliable and consistent dose every time. It has been tested in various geographic and climatic conditions and achieved an average efficacy of 96.80%.
