The message
from (jane) contains these words:

The other complementary method is to get rid of the reservoir of
sciarid grub-infested pots around your basil. Provado (the water-on
form) will kill the grubs for up to a month in non-edible plants,
which is pretty much long enough to break the cycle. If you're organic
only, the yellow cards will do it but over a longer timescale.

I successfully got rid of one lot by waterlogging the compost and
drowning the hooters.
