Do most pesticides such as Talstar, Orthenex, and others kill the eggs that may be present on the plants?

No. When an egg hatches the emerging juvenile insect is at it's most prone. That's when they get the toxic dose & kick.
Soaps & Oils are similar. These form

Mark...I have used talstar for the last 3 years and I do not inspect for SVB egs. I have not had any probelms over those 3 years so I have to assume the Talstar kills the eggs or the larvae as they hatch. If your out there Tremor chime in and explain if this sounds right. I am basing this on the fact that I don't inspect or pick eggs off and I know SVB's are present so they must be laying eggs.. Mark
