Dear Friends:
Thanks for your observations Mike.  Good work.
I tried patties as part of my initial work with FGMO last winter.  My
findings were not too encouraging because the oil did separate from the
patties.  I have been waiting for the onset of cold temperatures to try
mineral oil patties again.
Please remember that in order for the oil to work as a mite "killer" the
oil must be readily accessible in order for it to block the respiratory
and moisture intake pores of the mites.
I am still working with this principle trying to find ways and means
that will make the process cost effective for commercial application.
Perhaps with the assistance of all of you combined a procedure will be
developed that will meet that goal.
Best regards.
