I find it make the adults a bit sick and they will move to the top of the plant but merit has to be used as a drench.

Yes is does kill them, however I have found one still gets the dreaded Yellow Vine due to sucking on the plant. Need a two phase attack of pyrethrins like CoJoe mentioned. They dont like the smell so they go land on someone elses plants. Ive watched a cabbage moth try to land on the plant and they get close then freak out, and fly away...works well.
