In France, in the area I live, the CB is a common pest. Our
neighbours, to date, have sprayed with Zolon. This is now banned,
just this month I believe. What would you use instead as everyone
here is scratching their heads?

I would have said Sybol, but the EC idiots have banned that too, because
the makers didn't want to go to the expense of having it 'tested'.
