Apivar strips are quite possibly the easiest mite treatment to administer. They require no tools and there's only two things you have to do - put them in & take them out.
They use a synthetic chemical called amitraz and this really zeroes out your mite levels in the hive. However, in some areas this chemical has been overused and varroa mites have developed a resistance to amitraz. In these areas, apivar is not very effective.
