Apply at the rate the label recommends.

Have no idea what "previous post" you are referring to or what it may have said. It would also help to know exactly what "pepper spray" you are talking about. Is it some homemeade mix or a commercial spray or what? Is it made from hot peppers or made from something else?

The devil is in the details so could you link to it please if it is relevant to your questions?

As a general rule of thumb, as Jean said, commercial pesticides should be used as instructed on the label. If you aren't comfortable with the hazardous warnings they have then it is best to just not use them.

However it is possible to dilute many of the homemade recipes with no problems and use the lesser concentrations and still be effective.

I read too much. It was some time ago,so just forget that post. I'm chicken, I guess. It is the Hot Pepper Wax Insect Repellent--not homemade. Will do the best I can. Thanks - Barb
