Default Colorado Beetle

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'.

"The chemical of choice for Colorado beetle control is lambda-cyhalothrin which
costs £2.25 per hectare for the chemical and £7.00 per hectare to apply as a low
volume spray."
