I just can't get my brain in gear. I have a fire aunt killer bought at lawn&garden. It has .05% active ingredient. I have a little Acephate 90SP left over which has the same active ingredient as the lawn&garden fire aunt killer but it is .90% active ingredient. How would I mix this with a carrier (inactive ingredient)like flour or corn meal or what ever to end up with .05% active ingredient.

Yep the divide by 18 answer is right. Back when I was in school, and they taught us about applyin pesticides, the professor asked the question how do you convert 12 ounces into its metric equivalent, I was still talkin in the back of the room, no one else volunteered to take a stab at the answer, so he thought he'd make an example of me, asked me to come up to the front of the room, and show the class, as I had been talking in the back of the room. I walked up, wrote 12 oz = 355 ml on the board, walked back to my seat, and sat back down. He asked me how I did that conversion in my head so quick. I told him it was wrote on the side of every beer can I had ever drank! He stopped askin me questions, after that.

I'd be careful about getting caught using that aunt killer. Plus, what's your uncle going to think?

(Sorry, though Stan and dr were grown up enough to resist, I just could not :)

I know.. It's be darn if you do and be darn if you don't and as far as epa it is just be darn. I have saw people get written up and fined for the most absurd things. I had a little left over and I am using the max amount allowed by label. OH yes, I could have just put that extra in the mix--but if uncle new, he would get me for being off label. If I just throw it away!!! well you know, same if I flush it down the toilet UH even worse. If I put it in the corner to save till next year and uncle comes for an on site inspection he would probable say it wasn't stored properly.Well I dilute it to .05% and use it on my private yard and if Uncle don't like I would rather get a fine that way than any other.

So would that mean I go a ratio of 1 part of my .90% insecticide to 18 parts of flour?

I meant 1/18 not eithten. Eighteenth of .90.That math is very familar to me because its the formula for making a segment bend[large radius]in a pipe 18 5inch marks for 90 degree bend.
