Is anyone using venom insecticide?
If so, ho much per gallon are you using ?

Kind of tough to gage exactly how much because the directions are for ounces per acre.

Multiply acre amount in oz. by .15 = teaspoons per 1000 sq. ft.
(Divide acre amount by 40 then multiply by 6.)

Lee, this is taken off the "DoMyOwnPestControl site)-
You are correct that Venom is intended more for large agricultural areas greater in size than an acre. It is very difficult to measure a per gallon rate, because the label says to use 1 to 5 ounces (depending on what pest) over an acre. Products like Venom do not give an amount of water to mix it with because it doesn't matter if you mix the product with 1 gallon of water or 50 gallons of water, as long as that amount of product is spread over that amount of square footage. So if you only had a 1000 square feet to treat and you wanted to apply at the 3 ounce per acre rate, which is using 3 ounces over 43,560 square feet, this works out to be about .0698 of an ounce, or about 2 grams per 1000 square feet. It does not matter if you put the 2 grams in a gallon of water or 10 gallons of water, as long as it is spread over 1000 square feet equally. 2 grams is a little less than half of a teaspoon.

The above statement is true for all products. It is always far better to determine the rate of coverage based on square feet as opposed to amount per gallon.

2 0f the best out there! I'm using 2 products these guys both started using recently and my plants have never been happier!

I have confirmed high levels of disease in my plants this year from day 1. I was going to pull the plants after talking to Harry at western labs. I didn't and I'm sure glad I kept them!!!
We'll use 2023 as a rest year.:)

Looks like some great stuff. Is it restricted use? I couldn't locate that info.
