I so far have not had the pleasure of dealing with this pest but I have read up on it a little and it sounds like it is hard to kill. I read that using a 10% Permethrin product at the rate of 1/4 to 1&1/2 oz to the gallon will kill them. That is pretty strong and I don't know what the wait time is but I would think it would be from a few days to a week to be safe. I have also read it is good to use a spreader sticker to make poisons more effective against them. They sound like a nightmare.
