In response to questions on FORMIC ACID and CORROSION and SAFETY:

In response to the question on CORROSION:  Only contact with liquid acid
or condensed fumes causes corrosion.  Using the MiteGone method the fumes
will not penetrate anything that is coated with wax or propolis.

In response to the question of SAFTEY:  Please download the 32 page
handbook from our website www.mitegone.com.  The last 2 pages are on
safety and respirators.  We have handled acid in Canada since 1995 with no
accidents.  The key is to have good gloves; one pair of gloves is used
exclusively for handling acid and are not used for anything else; they are
tested for leaks by blowing.  When you are handling acid, all hives are
already prepared for the pads to be placed in the hive.  Also, only one
person is designated to handle the acid.  This person does not handle,
lift or move anything else in order to prevent making holes or puncturing
the gloves.  Even a small amount of acid in contact with skin will result
in a blister but it is easily avoided by following the above rule.

I hope this helps!
