I fill the sprayer almost all full and add a Tablespoon of peppermint soap (I use Dr. Woods). I spray it on then rub my fingers on the leaves gently to take off the dead bugs. Best with rubber gloves because the alcohol dries out your hands. I use it on scale too. It kills them instantly but the scale takes more work to get off the leaves.
