Ya so I found a bunch of Cucumber beatles yesterday, the striped type. I stamped out most of them, and had some Pyola spray that I used... they seemed quite unhappy about that, hee.. hee.. hee...
I head Rotatone(sp?) works well on them? Any one else got these? First time I have ever seen um, they have stripes yellow & black, have seen a few spotted.

Doeski...I am not bragging here but you have got to try a foliar spray with 2 TBSP of Feed Grade Molasses per gallon. This is my second year doing this.It raises the Brix level of the plants. Making them healthier and less tastey. Have not seen hardly any cuke beatles in the Giant Patch. Now in my Jack o lantern patch that does not get sprayed that is a different story.
