>Isn't phostoxin an organo phosphate pesticide similar to checkmite
(coumaphos)?

Merry Christmas, Medhat--nothing like a little Bee-L before the family wakes
up!  The "phosphenes" or organophosphates.  The product of Phostoxin is
"phosphine" gas, which is a natural (though highly toxic) compound (PH3)
which leaves no residue.

It is currently approved for use on stored combs.  Don't breath the fumes!
