As above, I have an old leaflet and it says one teaspoon to each gallon of water!
I also read some where that it was not as before which was phenol based, the recipe had been changed!
Forget the old chestnut that if you use a single drop you will kill half the wildlife on the planet, i use it on cabbages and caulies to try and keep root fly away, around the chicken house and to clean out the budgie cages, none of these have kicked the bucket yet!
For a roof covered with algae problem - Pour about 1/2" (15mm) of Jeyes Fluid into the bottom of an old plastic Coke bottle (or similar) and fill the bottle with water. Paint (or spray) the mix onto the algae on your tiled roof when no imminent rain is forecast - and when it does rain again, the algae will be washed away into the gutters.
Please, if using Jeyes Fluid be aware that when it is diluted with water cats find it very palatable to drink - unfortunately it is highly toxic to them, frequently resulting in agonising death.
Please ensure that no pools or containers of Jeyes Fluid are left about in your garden.
Thanks.

I use Jeyes at the recommended dose for washing down the greenhouse interior and exterior.
I also water in all my brassica plants, and peas and beans in the allotment when planting as it is the only thing i have found to control wireworm.
I mix at a ratio of 25Mls to 5Lts water

Yes! Brumbull would like to see and try that method!
I am bothered badly with vine weevil on the roots of heucheras, they eat the roots up to soil level, only the tops remain sometimes!
Cheers!

Why have all the good plants pests that are only detected when they have almost completed their dirty work?

Have used dilute jayes fluid to kill cabage root fly.

No fear Dove always keep it in a bucket with a lid on.
They drink it? I thought cats had more self preservation instinct than that.

It seems, like anti-freeze, to be both palatable and toxic to cats.
