Various mites and bugs are destroying my junipers and Italian cypresses, big time. I would like to spray them with Acephate (Orthene). The HD sells it in small bottles at outrageous prices ("Systemic Insect Killer" by Ortho). It comes in a 8% solution.
On the web I can buy 98% Acephate powder by the pound for only a few dollars.
How much water would I use to dilute one pund or one ounce of the powdered
98% acephate (sold by weight) so that I would get an 8% or 10% solution?Thank you
