Have any of you tried the mineral oil treatment for mites, particularly using a propane powered fogger?
mswaf100,
Food Grade Mineral Oil (FGMO) with Thymol has been used and I did try it a couple of years ago. I also made some emulsion cords per Dr. Pedro P. Rodriguez protocol I did not give them a fair chance, but the fogging did not seem to keep the mites down. BUT do a search on Fogging or FGMO and read some more.

I have used this for the last three years in part of my hives and compared to some other methods and it works for me. you can also use wintergreen/mineral oil this also will work. not a cureall but it does work.
