I had these on my wolf fish a long time ago from feeding feeders. The only thing that worked for me was "Life Bearer".
 
Either trichlorfon or dimilin (diflubenzuron) should work. You'll want dimilin. It's safer than trichlorfon. Trichlorfon has been banned in many countries as it is quite toxic especially if not handled carefully.
