No mixing required.

Did You Know? The active ingredient is heat-killed Burkholderia spp. strain A396. Its natural compounds damage insect exoskeletons and disrupt molting—one reason this EPA-registered biopesticide works against soft-bodied and chewing pests on ornamentals and edibles alike (EPA Reg. No. 84059-14-97021).
