It sure looks like you pulled all the triggers I would have pulled and more. When I have had what I presumed was EFB terra treatments showed a positive response in a few days. I treated three times as per the label. I have not had a single case that reappeared after treatment. I also have only found it in nucs that were under five frames of bees.
