Yes Pete, that is how it works. It destroys the biofilm which is necessary for the bugs to live in large colonys. So startron doesn't actually kill the critters, it kills their interface. Without the interface they can't live off the hydrocarbons in the fuel. That's the hook, and why you have to continually use it. I guess eventually they may starve to death, but somhow I doubt it.
