Is it really necessary to use mixed Safari within 24 hours of mixing?

I read in one of your answers that the solution must be used within 24 hours, but I do not see that on the label. Can you confirm?

Answer:

Although most manufacturers do not print a time limit for using mixed product on the label, the general rule of thumb is to use or discard insecticides (including Safari) within 24 hours.  This is because the active ingredient can start to break down after that time and cause the solution to become less effective.  Some insecticides also can damage sprayer parts if left for long periods of time.
