I have 7 blueberry bushes loaded with yellow necked caterpillars. Will one 8-ounce bottle be enough?

I think it should be, at least for a couple of months or so, depending on how big the bushes are. I heard its not as effective if the caterpillars are really big. Apparently its better at stopping them before they appear In the first place.

Probably. I applied the powder once to 4 tomato plants and barely used any.

I would guess that 1 bottle will be enough for your blueberry bushes. You really don't use much of the product, and if it's going to work than you shouldn't need to keep applying it. For my broccoli plants I only needed to apply it twice I think.

I would get two. The bottles are about half full. I also recommend that you get a sifter for powdered sugar and put the contents of the bottle into that. The nozzle on the bottle blows out too much at once so it's wasteful. The powdered sugar sifter will give you a controlled application method. We have one of the original Safer containers that has a better nozzle and we loaded ours into it. The Safer powder is about the same consistency as powdered sugar. It will wipe out the herd of caterpillars though, and with no adverse effects on pets or wildlife.

I really can't say because I don't know how big your bushes are or how many applications you may need. The powder does wash off in the rain and some may blow off in the wind. I am not familiar with these caterpillars and how long they are active either. I used the same bottle for 3 yrs. on broccoli and cabbage plants--about 10-12 plants--with multiple applications each season over several wks. Hope this helps.

It really depends on how big your blueberry bushes are! I would, honestly, go with two to be on the safe side.

One bottle should be enough, however the delivery method posed a problem it at times over dust. you may want to get an old fashioned dust sprayer would be less wasteful.

Using a light hand I should think you would be able to deal just vengeance to most all of your cylindrical foes.

Yes, use 1 tsp per 2o oz water spray on the leaves. Also kills spiders, ants etc. BTW, simple green also works this way. good luck The instruction sheet has many ideas for it's useage.

It won't be too much. Use 2 dropper-fulls. This quantity in a 1 gal can will keep all your house plants healthy.

It would depend on the size of your bottle. The jewels are fairly large; each one is about the size of a grape. These jewels would probably be perfect for what you're describing, other than the possible size issue. You may need something smaller.

Yes if you use a ton of it. One bottle will last me about a week if I don't use it every day, but gnats are very bad here. Personaly I think it is over priced.

According to product's website you need to apply 1 to 3 tbsp./Gal. of ready-to-spray herbicide. If you use 1 tbsp./Gal. this bottle will cover about 16 Gallons of ready-to-spray herbicide.

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.

I use 7 drops/quart but if you like you can dilute it until you see how your plant(s) respond. Maybe use half the recommended amount to start.

1.5 ounces/gallon of water for a 10-15% mix. That will take care of most brush and poison ivy.

If the caterpillars become numerous enough to threaten the vine's existence (as they do mine every year), you can simply use BT to kill them off. I love the butterflies so I allow them the caterpillars to enjoy the vine until they become too large in number. BT is organic and OMRI approved and I don't hesitate to use it when it becomes absolutely necessary...which is usually not until late summer. The rest of the time I love having all those butterflies in my garden.

The best way to use it us to make a bug spray with it... You never want to use high quality essential oils without diluting them. I take 20 drops and mix with 1 to 2oz rubbing alcohol. You gave to shake alot to mix. Then put in a spray bottle and add 8oz witch hazel. Best bug spray ever.

You'll need between 44 and 48 bottles if you're using 12 ounce bottles. Hope this helps.

Directions for using are now on the back label image on our Amazon product page.*Quick Tip - To mix up a 32oz spray bottle for spot treatments, simply pour 8oz of Nature's Secret Weapon concentrate into the bottle and fill with water. Ounce measurements are on the side of the container. Always shake all concentrate and mixed solution bottles well before using to distribute the millions of live microbes. Concentrates and mixed solutions have over a 2 year shelf life.

I would put in a teaspoon full in 8 oz. It says on the bottle how much to use. I do notice that if I put too much in the cats notice the taste.

I use a 650ml spray bottle. I add 1 tablespoon of the fruit tree spray and fill with water. My peach tree still got infected with worms in the peaches and my Apple tree still got rust spots (fungus). I switched to stronger fungicide and insecticides. Unless you're really against non-organic I don't recommend this anymore....

I answered earlier but misread the question. That bottle will last quite a while. Only a drop or two is needed.
