VarroVap – Oxalic Acid Vaporizer
VarroVap – Oxalic Acid Vaporizer
⚠️ Chemical product – PPE required
The VarroVap – Oxalic Acid Vaporizer is a 12-volt, battery-powered oxalic acid vaporizer designed specifically for hobbyist beekeepers who want a straightforward and dependable tool for Varroa mite treatments. Manufactured by VarroVap, this unit is intended for outdoor apiary use only and is not designed for enclosed spaces.
Powered by a 12V battery, the VarroVap connects directly to any suitable 12-volt power source using its included cables. Many beekeepers choose to power the unit from a vehicle battery for convenience, but a standalone 12-volt battery may also be used, making this vaporizer flexible for backyard and small-yard apiaries without the need for generators or inverters.
The VarroVap is best suited for beekeepers managing a limited number of colonies who prefer a simple, battery-powered solution as part of a structured mite-management routine.
