Example: To determine how much concentrate to put into a 44 fl. oz. fogger tank to achieve a mix of 1 part concentrate with 5 parts water, multiply 0.17 (from chart above) times 44 (fluid ounces of solution needed) = 7.48 fl. oz. of concentrate (7.5 fl. oz. with rounding). Fill remainder of tank volume with 36.52 fl. oz. of water (36.5 with rounding) – to a total of 44 fl. oz. |
