Help me kill my wolf please

I've done the requisite searches but still need help.

I have a wolf at the first Bb on the D string. Where should the wolf eliminator go? I've tried it all up and down the afterlength of the D, with no success. Am I missing the spot, or does it need to be on another afterlength?

Thanks

Try the A string afterlength... I know it sounds crazy, but it sometimes works.

There are other methods of addressing your wolftone problem. Raise/lower saddle, compensated tailpiece, and wolftone eliminators that attach to the inside of the top. Can you tell us more about this bass/setup? Maybe post some pics of the neck set, bridge height, etc.
