Wow
Now we are getting into some esoteric stuff there !
Yes, There is such thing as working with WHITE  vinegar. The  theory is that
the fumes destroy the material of the mite . BUT, It takes special equipment
to produce the fumes and ditribute them throughout the hive. It consists of
a box , the size of a super which includes a  hot plate  ( 240 Volts) , a
fan ( 120 Volts) and a hose extending from the gaget to the hive entry. The
box is placed on top of the hive with inner and outer cover removed. Vinegar
in specific amounts AND intervals is poured into a little funnel and
dribbeled onto the hotplate where it evaporises at 218 deg F. This method
alledgedly treats not only the both mites and the beetle but also the
bacterial and fungal infestations.
The other method is the FGMO fogging application , but that requires a
specific viscosity of the oil , which is only to be had at a specific
source.It treats Varroa and Tracheal mites.
These two methods are under experimentation and the results are forthcoming
when compared to convential methods. Earliest in the fall.
