š” Who Itās For
Perfect for beekeepers treating 20ā60 colonies who need:
- Faster heat-up and recovery between hives

š§Ŗ When to Treat with Oxalic Acid
Use vaporisation during low-brood periods for maximum mite control:
- Late autumn or winter
- After swarming or re-queening
- During natural brood breaks
Oxalic acid doesnāt penetrate capped brood, so targeting the right timing is key to effective treatment - with zero residue and minimal disruption to your bees.
Compact by name, powerful by nature ā the InstantVapĀ® 18V Compact brings you faster treatments, cordless freedom, and the reliable results beekeepers trust.
