The product I am using is 45.2% Imidachloprid. You'll need a license to buy it -- and some cash, it is $400 for a 1 gallon bottle. The soil-drench application rate for ACP is 0.33 milliliter per cubic foot of soil volume. For example, I recently treated 240 5-gallon pots with a total of about 1.5 fl.oz.
