Planet Natural has gallons of Pyganic for $204  http://www.planetnatural.com/site/order.html?id=rDmUPVQ8:24.44.177.98  (+ shipping, of course).  The product label says a gallon treats 8 acres.

This stuff really does work...however, I do hope you are all spraying after the honeybees have retired for the evening as it knocks them down too.  We can't knowingly add to all the things plaguing the girls.

Brian - What dilution rate rate are you using with the Pyganic? My 
recollection is that it is something like 3oz per gallon, so the $150 
(est) quart doesn't go very far, as well. You're right, though. 
Pyganic 5 (?) really knocks pests down. -Allan in WV
