There is a wealth of info on Oxalic Acid including scientific studies
comparing application methods. I have not read anything on strips and
was not successful with a google search. Could you provide some
information on the strips?

Also, thanks for those who corrected me on the thymol not in the fogger
but in the cord. Assumed incorrectly and apologize.

Why use Thymol with FGMO? FGMO is supposed to work fine on its own so it
obviously does not need anything else. If you are going to use Thymol,
why use FGMO when Thymol requires less labor, and is backed by
independent studies that show it is effective?
