So I have discovered a infestation of cuke beetles, what is relatively safe that I can spray as well as get results? I have never had any pest problems so please help.

Just to kill them right away I sometimes use Sevin. That has always knocked them dead for me.

Bring out the BIG GUNz... Warrior II for a contact, mallet for a systemic. Every other week. Rotate sprays, Bifethrin every other week, keepZ the squash bugZ and rabbitZ away... I add a fungacide once per week as well, BRAVO, Eagle II, and my new add thiZ year...ManZate.

Since I grow naked...I got spider miteZ...so I added AVID every three weeks mixing it with Bif...AVID is potent stuff...so do not put it on anything you eat... great part about it is it translocates thru the leaf getting the mites that are hiding underneath the leaf... Hope this helps... I know the Ohio growers have a great program...check theirs out aZ well. Good Luck

Thanks for the advice, I applied some seven as well as just manually swished the ones I could see. Seems to have worked or deterred them for now. Just for some knowledge is the residual from the seven going to harm my benifecials?

Sevin is working for cukes. What about grass hoppers? They are now the issue
