[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 11878, member: 13"] As in oxalic vapor? If so tends to not be effective in TBH's because there is a lot of empty space in most TBH's, combined with the spread out nature of the combs. I have had excellent success treating TBH's with Apivar strips. It does mean the combs have to be prized apart slightly during the treatment period to allow the strip to fit between, however the bars can be moved back together once treatment removed. 2 strips will treat most TBH's, just position the strips among the brood, not outside of it.
