Subject: Boxwood Leaf Miner ?

We have problems in Central Virginia with the leaf miners.
The usual recommendation is to spray with a contact insecticide when the 
adults emerge as flies.  Then to follow with a systemic spray(Cygon) in June.
Would it be a good idea to try and control the miner earlier in the spring, 
before they emerge?
Why did Orthene drop Boxwood Leaf Miners from their label?  I always thought 
it did a better job than does Cygon.
Appreciate any input.
