Soaking gladiolus corms for thrips

I need to treat my gladiolus corms for thrips before replanting. I don't have lysol but I have plenty of bleach. Does anyone have the formula for soaking them?

. If the corms are going to be dug for winter storage, they should be gently cleaned and soaked in bleach (4 teaspoons per gallon of water) for three hours. Let them dry thoroughly before boxing them up.
