1) Imidacloprid is the active ingredient found in many topical flea medications that are available in Canada such as Advantage II as well as crop pest control agents also available in Canada.

2) beta-Cyfluthrin is another common pest control agent and can be found with shipping available to Canada here. The MSDS for the linked product is here.

Were somebody suitably motivated, the information and sources above should enable you to recreate the Bayer product used successfully in the link Reefer Rob posted up about a dozen posts back. If you guys would like me to try to put it together I would be happy to put some more legwork in and get it together.

Failing that, I am happy to donate frags to either of you with no limits to quantity should the need arise.
Dan, this would be an interesting project and could make you high in demand.
I am working on a rebuild so that may not be of a huge concern however my concern is will these flatworms lay eggs only on dead sps corals or will they lay eggs on rocks as well? If so is there another way to rid of them besides dipping the rocks or using insecticides?
