Can you manipulate the pic to see the label? I think the instructions are on the label. We used this over a year ago, and I don't remember. Sorry.

I think if you can dilute it correctly, you'll be ok. It's a very, very strong oil, so it def needs the correct ratio of carrier oil to this. Plant therapy has a dilution chart here: http://essentialoilblogging.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/plant-therapy-dilution-guide.jpg

I am not sure what exactly you mean. I did cut short the grass and applied this product to my yard, just poured whole bag on the soil but did not see much effect after. Gofers were still visiting...This is why I recommend to use liquid Molemax and after that water the lawn, this helps castor oil go more deep into soil. As my gardener said: that gofers eat the soil while they move underground and they don't like taste of the castor oil and leave. If whole area is contaminated with gofers , as it is in my area, then they will return in 3-4 months. I have to repeat this almost every 4 months.

I use about 1 jug per acre. Half as broad spray which uses more and half as spot treatment which is more efficient but involves more work. Hope this helps.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

Followed labeled directions. Read safety as well Do not use if there is a cat. And be sure to let dry as per instructions before allowing pets or children on lawn. The mix ratio is for 1 gallon of water.

Go to the lawn mower section of home depot or similar and they'll have pump oil. Synthetic is ok.

I have a small, very wooded and grassy, lot (1/4 of an acre?) I mix a 2 gallon sprayer--6 oz of Mosquito Barrier, 2 oz oil and 2 gal water--and it more than covers the entire lot. I feel like it works pretty well.

I have no clue, but will share my own home made recipe with you. Equal parts of Castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and then I add a few drops of Lavender Essential oil, because I like the smell. You may choose a different essential oil for fragrance or none at all. Been using this for years and will tell you that it costs pennies in comparison. I have it in a small dark colored squirt bottle and 1 squirt is all I need. Good luck.

Steven, If you review the label, you'll learn that Pramitol (like most herbicides) has a variable rate. This rate starts at 1/2 pint (8 oz) per gallon of water per 500 sq/ft but it can be mixed a lot stronger depending on the goal of the treatment. Now since we know eight goes into 128 sixteen times, you can treat at least sixteen 500 sq/ft areas which amounts to a total of 8000 sq/ft. But to be sure about what the coverage will be for your application need, you'll need to review the label.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

Doterra has an oil blend called TerraShield. It has 11 oils in it, including Citronella and Cedarwood. I am planning on using it Memorial Day weekend to give it a test! You are supposed to dilute it with water and put in spray bottle. Can't wait to see if it works. Contact me if you would like a bottle. They are only $12.67

According to the label, the mix ratio varies, depending on the type of sprayer and what kind of grass you are spraying. Here is a link to a .pdf of the entire label, and about page 8 shows a chart for various mixing. http://www.fertilome.com/ProductFiles/10525%20Weed%20Free%20Zone%20Approved%2012-10-12.pdf

Depends on the ration you want. One to one give you 5-23-5 if you keep the spread rate the same. I use it plain on flowering plants and vegetable with seeming success. I then mix with a high nitrogen to get the rest of the yard. The math is simple - 3-1 gives you 30-46-30, but you have to put out four times as much or same spread rate divide everything by 4 (7.5-11.5-7.5. Side comment - push the nitrogen if you are expecting company as it is what greens the yard.

I used it on a lawn. Since it is only castor oil, I would suspect harvest could be soon.
