Having just gotten a new container myself, I JUST happen to have the
literature and instruction on my desk, and there is no mention of the
diluted solution having a shelf-life (unlike others - Enstar II, for
example, is good for about 24 hours).

Just be sure to label it VERY CLEARLY. A huge percentage of pesticide
poisonings occur because of improper labeling of diluted stuff, so
folks mistake it for something else.

Hi All,

I have been trying Orthene 97 on a mealy infestation. My question
is, once I mix up a batch, how long is it effective if it is not
used right away?
