Please help me destroy my cucumber beetles
Comments (4)My cukes are already dead thanks to the CB's. Now they've moved on to a zuke plant I have. Of course, they prefer the blossoms. Recently I found 8-10 CB's IN a zuke blossom. I sprinkled a very small amount of Rotenone IN the blossom then tilted it sideways over a small pail of soapy water. They crawled out and fell into the soapy water. They did not like the rotenone at all. I then sprayed the inside of the blossom with the water hose to remove the Rotenone. (since bees also like squash blossoms) In doing so, I wet the straw mulch around the plant. Before long a parade of squash bugs and CB's began to climb onto the zuke to escape the moist surroundings. I squished the CB's and drowned the SB's. Squishing the squash bugs grosses me out too much. ewww... If anyone knows a better way of removing the CB's from the blossonms, I'd like to hear. I find CB's to be more difficult to catch than squash bugs. They're quick! Everyday I spray the zuke and the straw mulch around it with a good blast of water. That method probably won't work for you if you don't have straw or a similiar mulch for the buggers to hide in. Good luck!...See MoreBrown beetle (pics) please help ID

I read that you apply it once and it spreads on its own. I wonder if I should try another application. I also wonder if I should leave out a few trays of water at night. I seem to mostly find the asiatic beetles in water, but then again I try not to leave much water out. Dee...See MorePlease help me identify this help identify chandelier
