so far so good with this spray i have used , it is called PROVADA ULTIMATE BUG KILLER
and since spraying i have not had any leaves eaten at all ,this time last year when i didnt spray the lily bettle had eaten most the leaves.
And after spraying it says on the container that they dont need to be sprayed until 4 to 6 weeks later . it seems to be working quite good i got it from one of the DIY stores.
