I like that way some people are waking up to the 'power of the internet'
thing.  As individuals we don't have a chance of performing the type of
study needed to get EPA/FDA approval, but as a group there might be a
chance as long as everyone involved follows the same protocols.  It used to
be that the internet was for scientists and defense guys to share research
results and information, but now everyone is on so let's take advantage of
it.  
 
Let's not get discouraged about contacting these agencies.  I looked up EPA
and FDA contacts on the WWW this morning.  Here are some pages and numbers
to go after:
 
 
http://www.epa.gov/opp00001/chemreg.htm
http://www.epa.gov/PesticideApplication/
 
http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/pestadd.html
 
These are just a beginning.  If we're really interested in making this
work, it will take some effort.  
 
 
 
This is just a sampling of what I found.  If anyone is interested in more I
can attach the full search or Endnote libraries of the search to private
emails in a couple of days  (Paul Bashore, you're already on the list).
Few of these deal with the mites we're interested in, but the method of
action should be similar.

     of B. oudemansi.  Good results can be obtained by using 15%
     emulsions of concd. polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which is not toxic but
     can supply a mech. action.

     from 6 to 4, by increasing prepn. 30 [11111-66-3] concn. from 2 to
     3%, and by including zineb [12122-67-7] into the compns.  Zineb was
     effective against the silver   ***mite***  .  Concomitantly the Bi
     58 [60-51-5] content was decreased from 0.2 to 0.05%, so as to
     decrease the toxicity of the mixts. to beneficial entomophages and
     acariphages such as Cryptolemus, Lindorus, Stetorus, Tydeus and
     Phytoseidae.  Zineb and   ***mineral***     ***oil***   emulsions
     were the least toxic to the beneficial predators and parasites.

AB   This paper deals with the study of emulsive oil as an alternative to
     the acaricides used for the rusty   ***mite***   (P. oleivora)
     control in citrus orchards.  Two types of emulsive oil were
     compared: the American SUN oil and the Brazilian OPA-E oil.  The
     expt. was carried out in an orchard of 20 yr old com. varieties of
     orange of high yields, which receives a good treatment, including
     irrigation.  Both products were studied as preventive and curative
     controls.  The results indicated that both oils are effective for
     the   ***mite***   control.  However SUN oil gave a longer
     protection against the rusty   ***mite***   and this difference was
     more evident in the curative treatment.

     Lebanon.  The effectiveness of M2060-oil (I) (2% fluoroethyl
     4-biphenylacetate, 70% petroleum oil, 10% tar oil, and 18% carriers
     and emulsifiers), Ovamort (2.4% DNOC + 70% petroleum oil), Diotol

     Genite, and Citronol (95-97% wt./vol. petroleum oil) were
     investigated on the winter eggs of these 2 mites in the lab. and in
     the field.  I was highly effective and superior to all products at
     early and late dormant stages of tree growth.  The nearer to egg
     hatch the other products were applied, the more effective they were.
     The use of petroleum oil as insecticide should be reexamd., since
     the oil does not leave toxic residues and causes no insect
     resistance.

AB   The efficacy of vegetable   ***oil***   and menthol was tested in
     controlling tracheal mites (Acarapis woodi [Rennie]) in honey bees
     (Apis mellifera L.).  Each of 40   ***bee***   colonies was given
     one of four treatments: (1) vegetable   ***oil***   shortening, (2)
     menthol, (3) vegetable   ***oil***   shortening and menthol, or (4)
     no treatment (control).  Colonies were sampled for percentage bees
     infested and severity of infestation per infested   ***bee***   on
     nine dates from 14 Feb. to 7 August 1991.  Treatments were applied
     on 27 Feb. and removed on 18 Apr.  On 3 Apr., mite infestation was
     reduced in the   ***oil***   shortening + menthol treatment.  On
     every sampling date after 3 Apr., infestation was reduced by all
     ***oil***   shortening or menthol treatments.  Compared with
     menthol, vegetable   ***oil***   shortening gave equiv. mite control
     on all sampling dates.  From 3 Apr. through 9 May, infestation was
     lowest in the   ***oil***   shortening + menthol treatment.  Except
     for one sampling date, severity of infestation per infested
     ***bee***   was unaffected by treatments.

AB   Four seed-derived oils were evaluated in field trials as control
     agents for the parasitic tracheal mite, Acarapis woodi (Rennie), in
     colonies of the honey   ***bee***  , Apis mellifera (L.).
     Seventy-one honey been colonies infested with the tracheal mite were
     each assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups or to a control group.
     Treatments were peanut, soybean, sunflower, or canola   ***oil***  ,
     delivered as patties after blending with confectioner sugar (2 parts
     sugar/1 part   ***oil***   [wt:wt]).  All 5 groups had similar mite
     prevalence values (proportion of infested bees) and parasite load
     scores (a measure of the no. of mites per   ***bee***  ) before
     initiating treatment.  Each colony received five 500-g patties
     delivered approx. every 14 d starting on 16 Sept. 1992 and
     continuing until 1 Dec. 1992.  Mite prevalence values, parasite load
     scores, and colony wt. gains (an indicator of honey prodn.) were
     measured the following spring.  Av. mite prevalence values obtained
     on 4 and 5 May 1993 in the treated groups ranged from 0.015 to
     0.027, compared with 0.094 in the control group.  The mite
     prevalence value in each treatment group was less than the mite
     prevalence value in the control group.  Similar differences were
     obsd. for parasite load scores.  Differences in colony wt. gains
     among the 5 groups were not significant.
