Sue,
I use two tablespoons per gallon of water with a little Safer's
insecticidal soap as a spreader sticker. I sprayed the plants a second
and third time at two week intervals. If you go through the
calculations for how much to use compared to other formulas with the
imidaclopid in it, it works out to about 1.0 ounces per gallon, which
is about two tablespoons.
I have seen no problems with it on my orchid collection and it
has pretty much eliminated my insect problems, only time will show how
accurate I am with that assessment. I plan on spraying again in the
Fall to eliminate anything that may have come in on new plants.
If you want more information, I believe there was a message in
Earlier this Spring where someone went through all the calculations
for various formulations of imidaclopid.

Can anyone tell me what proportion to use of Bayer Tree and Shrub insect control? It has 1.47percent Imidaclopid. Thanks in advance since I'm leaving town for a few weeks.
