How Does VarroxSan Work?
VarroxSan utilizes a durable fiberboard strip that resists or delays removal by the bees, enabling the product to perform effectively in various conditions while maintaining high efficacy with a relatively low dose of active ingredient. Our innovative impregnation method guarantees that every strip contains the same amount of active ingredient, providing a reliable and consistent dosage each time.
Across a number of studies conducted by independent laboratories and research institutes, in various geographic and climatic conditions, VarroxSan achieved an average efficacy of 96.80%.
Oxalic acid dihydrate is a contact acaricide that is lethal to varroa mites on physical contact with them. The full extent of the mode of action is not yet understood, but the low pH is known to play a key role.
