how often does this get sprayed in the gardens to keep the ladies around?

there are actually two ways t use this product. You can wet down the leaves and sprinkle it directly. This creates clumps of food that the ladies will consume. I like this method because you can see when the food disappears. wait a day or two, put out more. If you always have this food around, they will be less likely to consume aphids...... If the ladies get enough food, they will mate, you will get eggs.

We sprayed for a couple days to keep them interested but they come and go as long as food is available

My understanding is only on ladybugs outside. Try something sweet to the taste on plants in your yard. You will probably need a professional for inside the house.

Not sure because I have a few bottles placed home and I don't take chances. I spray once a day 1 to 2 prays on a few places. But I think a bottle should last minimum a month but most likely 2.

I don't have any flower beds, but I didn't seem to effect the grass in the areas that I sprayed. The area coverage really depends on how you spray it, I use it along the wall base in my home and along the perimeter of my house. I normally have enough to go around at least once - when mixed it makes a gallon I believe. Yes it can be stored, I suggest shaking it up some if it has been sitting.

About every 30 days but sometimes I let it go longer. Depends on it I am getting a good amount of insects.

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry but I really don't know how to answer. The actual repellent does not get wet - it is contained inside a plastic shell that keeps the water off of it for the most part. The shell is on a metal rod and off the ground. I put them out as soon as we plant around the perimeter of the garden and don't do anything else for the remainder of the season. Our garden is not very large and in addition, it is fairly close to the house. We have a lot of deer coming up in the yard but they don't bother the garden.

We used a garden sprayer and walked the yard spraying surface. Do be careful on breezey days and do not gt too close to plants you want to keep. This product does work!

Exceptionally well! They die when they walk through the residue that the spray leaves. I spray door sills and along my baseboards and under appliances. If one gets in, it dies soon after. Stuff lasts a long time too.

The dilution rate for folier applications is from .008 fl oz/qt for small infestations up to .5fl.oz/qt for bad infestations. So using at that rate should last a while.

My first spray is outside and then inside, then outside only when they start to appear again. You should be free of the critters for the rest of the season with the second spray.

I've been using it for about 1 year. I usually spray around the plants close to the roots but when I spray the hostas and yucas I do get a fair amount on the plant. Haven't seen that it hurts them in anyway.

Depending on rain, I usually reapply once every two months. But it depends on your neighborhood, rainfall, etc. I do add Gordon's Spreader Sticker to the bottle (one tablespoon) to help it adhere and stay water fast longer. This is part of my every two to three month regimen of spraying my foundation about two feet up on the wall and two feet into the lawn and landscape. Bugs can't crawl into your home that way and you don't have to worry about spraying chemicals on the inside. It's also great to spray generously around garage door openings, window sills, etc where you don't want easy access for insects.

It should kill them on contact or within minutes. If you have an infestation you will need to spray your plants every 5 days. Do that 3 times. Three sprays in 15 days. Make sure to spray under the leaves as well. You will have to break the life cycle of the pest which is typically 5-7 days.

I am going to assume the question is "wears off easy". The great thing about this stuff is it requires very little to cover a large area and you don't have to apply it directly to the plant itself. We have a pretty large garden with a drip line irrigation system and I just lightly sprinkle it between the rows. I reapply after it rains. It does great!

Very little depending on how long you use it. Just a very fine mist is sprayed.

I have 20 nozzles spaced about 5-6 feet apart, and all are over or near my flower beds and lawn. they've been on for 3 hours with minimal puddles. you have 40 nozzles for 40 feet? ya, might be a bit much unless it's over your garden. 10 should do it. on still days, we have a $15 stand fan moving air and we eat outside up to 5 times a week. it gets 100 plus here. works fine. get the orbit universal cleaner and soak the nozzles for a couple days then blow them out through the holes once a year. I use the canned air. flush the lines as well.
