Loopers are eating holes in my cabbage, and I can't find Thurcide anywhere.
All I can find is Sevin, Bug-B-Gon, and Bayer Advanced Formula bug spray.
They look like synthetic pyretheroids (except for the Sevin). I don't
want to use that on a leaf crop.

Is Thurcide still being sold? I think I *might* have a 10 year old bottle
of the stuff under the sink that I havn't thrown away yet. Any chance it
would still be viable? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it if I can find
the bottle.

It's likely your thucide is not active.

"Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets,
but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how.
To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet;
one need only own a good shovel. By virtue of this curious loophole in
the rules, any clodhopper may say: Let there be a tree--and there will
be one"
