9.       Avoid feeding during treatment to prevent robbing, as hive entrances are open.
10.    Ensure your safety by using protective glasses and clothing when handling formic acid substances.
11.    Do not wash the device at temperatures above 40°C, as it will be damaged.

The original VAROX device. Excellent way of applying oxalic acid. Warms a resistor which evaporates the oxalic acid. You will need a 12 V battery (like these used in cars). We supply oxalic acid dihydrate (ref.OA60550) suitable for use in VAROX device.

Οξαλικό οξύ διενυδρό.

Κρυσταλλική θυμόλη.

Απαιτείται πολλή προσοχή κατά τη χρήση του, παίρνοντας μέτρα προστασίας όπως είναι η χρήση μάσκας full face και γαντιών.

Για την απολύμανση του υλικού σας. Διαλύεται σε αναλογία 5-10% σε νερό. Το βραστό διάλυμα είναι κατάλληλο για να απολυμάνει οτιδήποτε εμβαπτιστεί στο εσωτερικό του για 10 λεπτά. Προσοχή!!! Είναι εξαιρετικά διαβρωτικό, καυστικό και εκλύει δηλητηριώδη – τοξικά αέρια. Η χρήση του θα πρέπει να γίνεται σε εξωτερικούς ή πολύ καλά αεριζόμενους χώρους και θα πρέπει να φοράτε πάντα κατάλληλα γάντια, και προστατευτικά γυαλιά με κάλυμμα προσώπου. Πολλά υλικά μπορεί να διαβρωθούν- καταστραφούν με την εμβάπτιση. Εάν δεν είστε σίγουροι κάντε πρώτα δοκιμή σε ένα μικρό κομμάτι.
