It's ridiculously expensive in the size that they normally sell, so there is an entire cottage industry on ebay for people that buy the gallons and repackage it in vials of a few ml. A few ml. will last you all year and cost you ~$25.

Wear a respirator and gloves, use common sense, and don't spray it on a plant that has fruit.
