Varrofix evaporator Deluxe set
€ 175,00
The Varrofix vaporizer Deluxe set is a small device that can be easily inserted into (almost) all beehives. The height is approximately 6 mm, the width about 4 cm, and the length is 28 cm. With a dosing spoon, you apply the amount of oxalic acid onto the Varrofix vaporizer. Once the Varrofix is turned on, it heats up to sublimate (vaporize) the oxalic acid at exactly the right temperature. After vaporization, the entire hive is covered with oxalic acid dust. The mites cannot escape from this. The mites die within 24 hours when their foot pads come into contact with the crystals. You can find a battery for the Varrofix here as well as a battery charger/maintainer.
When ordering the Varrofix vaporizer deluxe set, you receive:
- the Varrofix vaporizer
- Varrofix battery
- Varrofix charger
- Varrofix timer
- a handy dosing spoon for 1 gram of oxalic acid
- a bottle of oil
- an information flyer/user manual.
Tip: order oxalic acid at the same time if you no longer have it in stock.
Work safely as advised in the guide from bijen@wur (free download; see books, manuals).
The beekeeper is strongly advised to wear a protective face mask (absolutely do not inhale the vapors and work so that the vapors blow away from you).

Advantages of Varrofix:
- Vaporization occurs without opening the beehive. The 6 mm vaporizer fits through (almost) every entrance hole.
- After sublimation, the hive is completely filled with oxalic acid vapor, so no mite can escape
(Note: oxalic acid vapor does not penetrate sealed brood). - The Varrofix is very economical (0.40Ah). With a small 12 Ah battery, you can vaporize 10 times.
- The Varrofix introduces little heat into the hive, the temperature stays within the vaporization range of oxalic acid of 157°C -189°C.
- The vaporization is safe to apply and even safer with a timer.
- Low purchase price compared to other vaporizers.
- Only 1 gram of oxalic acid needed per treatment.
- Oxalic acid is a natural product. It cannot cause environmental damage.
Caution, inhalation is extremely dangerous and harmful to the lungs! - No resistance develops against the use of oxalic acid.
- No residues remain in the beeswax or honey.
- Sublimation is the most efficient way to control varroa.
- Do not let the Varrofix vaporizer come into direct contact with the EPS/plastic material/varroa screen
- Solve this by placing/attaching the Varrofix on a piece of plywood, for example. Let the end of the board extend about 2 cm beyond the vaporizer.
- Ensure that the oxalic acid does not run off the vaporizer without vaporizing by placing the board/Varrofix horizontally in the hive before sealing the hive.
