No Place Special

I do it all the time through my mister blower. Im no expert but i BELIEVE it gets absorbed through the leaves also.

Yes, use 1/10 to 1/8 of a teaspoon per gallon H2O. You can mix it with Talstar or any other 7.9% bifenthrin, up to 1/2 oz bifen, and spray together with no problems. The Merit won't go all through the plant however, it stays in the leafs.

Ditto especially the Bifen+Merit combo.

It only stays in leaves? Does that include the leaf stalks too? If not, can't see much of a point to it.

All the insects that eat from the leaves, aphids, cucumber beetles, etc., will be killed if they manage to avoid the contact killer or if a contact killer isn't used.
