> The protocol would be to insert a clean stickyboard under each hive, and
then apply the accelerant to cause immediate mite drop. The accelerant can
be powdered sugar, formic acid, amitraz, or perhaps essential oil.
I do accelerated drops all the time and find OA vaporization to be fast and clean. If I don't like what's on the board, I follow with a wash and treat as needed.
