Is anyone else using this? I found it on www.doyourownpestcontrol.com as a substitute for Merit. This is the liquid form. Curious what dilution rate others might be using and whether you are using it as a drench or a foliar.
I mixed a very small batch this morning for a drench and the rate of application looks like 0.015 ounces per gallon. That is 0.09 Teaspoon or less than 1/8th of a teaspoon.

I use lesko brand bandit wp... From John deer landscapes... Check them out they may have a location close to you and the clubs around probably could work a wholesale price for all there club members... I did it for the Wisconsin growers and it's amazing all the stuff they have at wholesale prices. Well all use them know. Pro grade products at pro grade prices.

Some of these are wettable powder and some are liquid. It would seem that the liquids would mix better and therefore be injectable as I've read powders can be harder to inject.

Is this personal preference? anyone compare the effectiveness in one verses another?

I use liquids and wettable powders.. Both seem fine.. No issues.. Use proper rates of what ever products and you should be fine. I watch what and how I mix and how I'll apply. safety first pro grade products have pro grade dangers. Read labels first and follow manufacturers recommend rates. Wear safety equipment.
