Can I mix Marathon 1% granular directly into potting soil and, if yes, what proportions should be used?

I'm trying to avoid an annual mealybug infestation -- as well as other pests -- on plants in my apartment. Every year they kill off a substantial number of them. After trying all the usual products -- none of which worked -- someone at the nursery recommended Marathon 1%. I plan to repot about 50 plants.

Answer:

Yes, OHP Marathon 1% Granular can be used in containerized ornamentals, fruit and nut trees, and vegetable plants in greenhouses, nurseries, and interior plantscapes. The ratio is 1 1/4 - 2 1/2 level teaspoons per container.
