I would highly recommend Enstar II, which is an insect growth regulator,
not an insecticide.
My typical approach is to use a contact killer like Orthene or Merit, mixed
with the Enstar II, then do the follow-up applications with Enstar II
alone. The insecticide will kill the adults, and the IGR will prevent the
rest of the population from maturing. No maturation = no reproduction
= no more population.
And better still is the fact that the insect population cannot develop a
tolerance as they can to insecticides, precluding the breeding of resistant
strains.
