Relating to Carmenie's question. I used to treat for trachael mites
with grease patties, which I have tried with peppermint oil, and with
wintergreen oil. These have proved worthless. Since trachael mites
attack my eyelids, I know within 5 minutes when a colony has them, and
they were driving me crazy. I did the paper towels with menthol and
canola oil in accordance with Dr. Amrine's directions, and have had no
more trachael mites.
The remaining problem is varroa mites. I did Apistan, properly, and
found my colonies full of varroa a week after taking the strips out.
