How to mix and apply Mavrik

For plants with very delicate leaves you can spot-test by applying to one leaf and waiting 48 hours before treating the rest of the plant. 

How often do you need to re-apply Mavrik?

This depends on the insect's life cycle, so how frequently to re-apply will vary. It's normal to require multiple treatments and repeat for longer than the insect's life cycle, especially in cooler temperatures which can extend the life cycle for some insects. For example, Aphids have a very short 3 day life cycle so require spraying every 3 days.
