Does it come with informative instructions? Do you dilute it for spraying? Is it better to water after treatment or keep dry? Thank you all.

it does come with instructions, specific to mole/vole deterrence.Yes, you dilute it and add simple dish soap to emulsify the oil with the water. you must water... some instructions say before (which I think is because for some soils this allows it to spread better) some after. I have clay soil, so I find it's better to water after treatment... I try to do it just before rain storms so a good soak is in order. I did it a month ago, and I'm just now seeing mole action on my perimeter, so it's time to do it again.

It came with instructions and I also called them to get very specific directions.

Yes, it comes with good instructions. However, there is more than one way to apply the treatment. Go to the internet and look up alternative treatment methods. You should decide for yourself which works best. You dilute the oil with water and liquid dish soap until it becomes a very light paste and then you spray it on the yard. Let it soak in before watering. The gallon container will go a long way. You spray on a very diluted oil--the actual castor bean that the oil is derived from is very poisonous.

The castor oil does not come with instructions but there is a ton if good information on the internet. It does need to be mixed with dish detergent like Dawn to emulsify and and water to dilute it. Price on Amazon is good.

You mix it with water the instructions come in the package... It is so many ounces per amount of water

Yes. It needs to be diluted. I use an old spray bottle to mix it with tap water. Very easy and much more economical than buying a spray bottle of diluted product all the time. It works great, too.

I dilute it in water and use it to soak. I have tried to use it as an exfoliate on my face and it stung a little. Maybe because my face is sensitive.

Mix with water. The dilution rate depends on how / where you are going to use it and what you want to kill. For outside (if I remember correctly) it is 1 oz with 2 gallons of water. The directions are folded inside the front label. Please read. This stuff is a little more serious than the rank and file stuff you get at home depot.

We just got it a few days ago. It comes with two large zip lock bags. You dilute some of the concentrate with water and shake. Roll up your i.e. shirt and soak it in the concentrate for a few hours. Take the clothing out and hang to dry outside. It sounds somewhat labor intensive, but worth it if it works. I read an EPA fact sheet on permethrin, and it stated that it slowly breaks down with exposure to sunlight and oxygen, so it is probably best to seal the clothes in a bag and store when you are not wearing them to make the application last longer.

Liquid. It does come with instructions. I used 2 oz of cyzmic per 1 gallon of water (had a fly problem outside but this helped with flies, ants, bees, etc.) in a garden sprayer. Very easy to use and depending on what you need it for you can adjust the 2oz/1gal ratio. There is a chart with insects it works for (around 70 species if I'm not mistaken) and the proper solution strength. It lasted longer than I expected (label says around 3 months per application) and it came really close to that.

Hello, Isaac, Your question is a good one. Since instructions were not included with the product, I also asked the same question. I have used the product 3 times this season, basically as an experiment. Made a liquid drench in the spring and again in mid summer on selected potted cacti (2 tsp to a gallon of water) . Also used it in a soil-less potting mix - just a sprinkle. In addition, I searched and found recommendations on the web. I did notice that the plants really "perked up", appearing healthier and more robust. The root systems on the seedlings that received the drench appear to be more dense. We live in southern Utah and my cacti were outdoors throughout the summer. I am planning to use it again next growing season but would really like to learn more about the prescribed or recommended usage. I would suggest experimenting with a few of your plants and track the results. I am a novice so don't want to send you any misleading advice.

I don't think so. I don't dilute it - I use it full strength from the bottle and always have. I suggest you order it with the sprayer bottle, or pour it into one. It is the only product that takes out clay and grass stains off of my sons' white baseball pants. That's why I keep buying it. Hope this helps.

Yes, mix as directions and use it thru sprayer. It will go bad on you if you make too much and do not use it all up sooner rather than later. Love it though as does my friend too.

You do just mix it with water. The label is actually a fold out booklet with instructions on mix strengths for the specific type of insect you are trying to kill. Too strong of a mix and the bugs will avoid it due to the smell.

No. This product comes with very detailed instructions as to how to dilute this for whatever pests you may be trying to get rid of.

It is a "concentrate". Therefore, you mix it with water and put it in a sprayer. The product does work very well.

This is a highly concentrated solution. You will need to dilute to proper strength before spraying. You will need a good quality sprayer. I bought one for about $15 on Amazon. The plastic sprayers make it easier to mix because they allow you to see how much liquid is in there.

You mix it with water before spraying. Please see the instruction. After applying it to ant mounds, do not spray water on them again. Hope this would help.

It is rather granular. I think it would be a lot of trouble to completely dissolve it so it might clog your sprayer. Miracle Gro makes a cheap lawn sprayer that works well with it. That's what I use.
