Hi All

I occasionally suffer from bouts of LBI(lazy buggeritis).  Several years ago, I had more deadouts than normal
and stacked some of the brood boxes five high with a pyrex pie plate, 2” rim and  500ml of glacial acetic acid on top.  The next spring (one year later), LBI gone I dealt with the stack.  I don’t know if I got rid of any nosema spores but there was  absolutely no sign of of wax moths.  I noted that Paul Kelly used aluminium pie plates for the acid.  I use glass because I remember from chemistry class in high school that acids and metals may produce toxic gases such as WW1 nerve gases.  Could chemistry buffs out there comment?
