We buy powdered chalk. You can find white powdered chalk on Amazon and Ebay. I emphasize white because many of the colored ones are not non-toxic.

Chalk bag is the quickest way with trees. There is a fair amount of wastage. Works quite well keeping many bugs off fruit trees also.

For painted surfaces. Take a gallon of latex paint and thin with 1/3 gallon of water and add 3 cups of chalk.

I know a goat breeder that made a "white wash" she called it I think she is a member on BYC nappalongtail is her user id I think. I am sure she would give you their recipe and they just paint it on like paint and I think she said they do 2-3 coats. I will try and find her again.

Maybe google white wash?
