yes. that would be the right amount, or 1 Tblsp. / gallon for those of us that use that stupid system. I don't mean to throw a wrench in the monkey work here BUT. If I were doing this, I wouldn't use the two step process, I would shorten it to one. Just put the same amount of PureNeem Oil, 8oz is $8.00, the dish soap (unscented, unaltered) is $2.00. Add the same amount of NeemOil, 5ml/ltr and the dish soap to the same water and spray those plants til its dripping off everywhere, like the just got caught in a gentle long rain, see the rainbow type of rain. When you are spraying pay particular attention to the underside of the leaves as well. You will not like the smell, its not repulsive, just not pleasant and it will linger for a day or so if you have done it right. As mentioned, wet the soil for these pests as well, repeat every three days until you have control and then the weekly maintanance. NeemOil is the most common active ingredient in pesticides, usually around 3%. For $10.00 and the cost of a sprayer, you can make about 60 ltrs. What I did when I had this problem was buy a decent insecticide and then reuse that bottle for spraying after that. Label all bottles use to store insecticides, this one is non-toxic, your pets could drink it with out killing them. VV
