What i do is.... Take my Qt sized, or pint sized spray bottle, fill it with water up to the 'neck'. squirt in the dish soap, shake it up. From what I was told, as long as you see 'suds' when shaken, you have enough soap. i have never measured.
Also, the 'soap spray' is a contact thing... the sudsy solution has to come in contact with said bugs to kill them. so it's not like it's a preventative measure. When i see the aphids, i run for the bottle and spray them. I will from time to time, just leave the bottle hanging on my chain link fence - as it got used to often.
I mostly use it on aphids and ants, when they get in the house in the summer.
Hope this helps,
