Question regarding at which STAGE does Warrior T or Scimitar kill the Squash Vine Borer????

Alun and all,

Am I wrong, but I thought that Warrior-T killed the Squash Vine Borer at the
developing worm stage (this is once the Adult Winged Mother SVB lays her
eggs and they burrow inside to the vine and start to develop)?

I thought the adult female SVB only lays her eggs and doesn't eat the
developing pumpkin plant, thus she will not be affected by the Warrior T or
Scimitar?

I bought myself Scimitar (first year purchase), hopefully it will work.  I
have SVB really bad and have used Isotox with very 'limited' success (I have
even injected the vines at 100% doseage and I still found live developing
SVB's).

Any info. is appreciated.

Thanks,
