I occasionally see something similar right after repotting, but they usually goes away within a month or so. They eat whatever they can, and the rest is too difficult for them to access. Maybe you can accelerate this process with Inocucor, but yeast (I believe it is one major component of Inocucor?) probably would do the same thing.
If you are paranoid about it, have you tried H2O2? Or the Zero-Tol thing.
Over the summer, I drenched many of my plants with Physan-20 and its equivalent (RD-20, at 1.5tsp/gal or Bemis Humidifier Bacteria Treatment at the similar concentration of the active ingredients) frequently in an attempt to control bush snails. Most healthy plants were not killed, but weak ones died. I used bunch of other chemicals, so I can't pin point the phytotoxicity to Physan-20, but the phytotoxicity of quaternary ammonium compounds (active ingredients of these) isn't too bad at this concentration for orchids. Caffeine is a different matter, and caused major damage to my orchids....
