Place a closed hive floor on earth/grass/wooden board - not concrete. Put 2 or 3 of our absorbant fume pads saturated with 1/4 pint of acetic acid onto the floor. Place a brood box full of frames on top. Put another soaked pad onto the top bars of the box before placing a further brood box on top.  Repeat this for as many boxes as need to be fumigated. Seal the top with a roof. Fumigation should take approximately one week.

Acetic acid used in this way is very effective at treating nosema and all stages of wax moth. It will however be necessary to repeat the process every 2 or 3 weeks.

Note: acetic acid is highly corrosive. It will remove skin very quickly. Always wear overalls, rubber gloves and a suitable mask. 1 litre.
