a.k.a BT or Bacillus thuringiensis. It usually works within 24 hours!
There are a number of different sub-species with var. israelensis and H-14
working best. Natrual Insect Control in Stevensville, Ontario, Canada sells
them as Vectobac (H-14) and DUNKS (B.t.isr). I've used them in rainbarrels
with success
