Walter from San Diego, California writes
If I buy the Orthene or Acephate in pellets, how would I dilute it with water for use in a one gallon hand sprayer?
Orthene 97 Spray Insecticide is NOT labeled for scale on privets. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a recommendation. They can determine if the privets have scale or a fungus. Excessive moisture and poor air circulation could also play a part in the planted areas and they will determine if this is also a factor.
