In the amount of water you'd expect to put in whatever container came to
hand if you were planning to anoint a few rose bushes with it. That
might be one litre, or it might be a washing-up-bowl-full.

I made the (I think not unreasonable) assumption that John is an amateur
gardener correct , and owns an ounce of common sense a bit , and a bucket 4 actually.

The rains have come at last, so I hope the little critters will leave
of their own accord. I'll keep watching though . . .

I suggested in my previous post that simply giving them a good wash with
a hosepipe would be my preferred option.

Incidentally, I've found commercial pre-mixed insecticides damage some
plants too. I have a Streptocarpus that hates everything I have tried:
any recommendations for this would be welcome.
