I bought the Sevin concentrate. The directions say to mix only as much

I was going to mix about 14 ounces of Sevin/water. I won't be able to
use it all. Why can't it be stored?
If you buy the ready to use spray bottle (32 ounces) I won't be able
to use all of it at one time. But I
can store/keep it. Seems to me I should be able to do the same with
the Sevin I mix.

But if I bought it in a spray bottle for a couple bucks less, I could
use it, store it, use it, store it, until it was used up.
Why can the bought 'mixed' Sevin be stored, but the Sevin you mix
yourself can't be???
