Pyrethums are available here, but not sure if that would do the trick.
See if Sevin is available or a pesticide with Carbaryl as the active ingredient. It will take care of almost any worms very quickly. I use Sevin on any worm problem that bacillus thuringiensis will not get rid of. Diatomaceous earth in a find food grade will help with most worms also but not as quickly as Seven.
