bagging the Oxalic Acid strips

had some small problems with the OA sponge making. some did not soak up the OA before it cooled, and they floated so a lot of liquid was under them

Congratulations on 600 subs :D As for keeping the strips submerged, maybe get a container with a lid that has brackets the push the strips down (maybe add hardware cloth under the brackets so the strips don't slip between them) It would look somewhat like the mesh used to push slumgum down in a wax melter.

when I redid the dry ones, I did them in a shorter box, and put some expanded metal over them with a lead weight. I was able to work them up and down more, and got a great soak

Nice video. Do you find that these work pretty well? I used them all year and followed up with 2 1/2 doses of Formic on large colonies. I have around 60 4 over 4 NUCS that I relied solely on the strips. So I’m crossing my fingers.

[@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924]

they have worked very well for me. I replace them when they get light, and test to be sure its working. the highest test this year was under 2%, most had 0.
