At 2Tbsp a Gallon, I wouldn't have enough to see me through a season. Heck, I still will not have enough using 1Tbsn/Gal. It's too bad this stuff is so expensive, and there really isn't an appreciable bulk discount to be had, that I've been able to locate at least.

I can say that this product was not cost-effective for me because it needs to be applied regularly to be effective (once every week, and one bottle doesn't last long). Hence, it really didn't help with white flies (not sure about thrips). Spinosad was quite helpful with white flies and worms. I think I will also purchase a Pyrethrin-based product to apply together with Spinosad to fight against thrips. Apparently, this year Florida was infested by chili thrips (I am not sure if this is the same pest as the one that caused tomato wilt virus in my garden).
