I have been organic gardening for over 40 years. I have always tried to control the cucumber beetle by hand. Over the years it is getting out of control and I need help in getting rid of this pest down to manageable levels.

I’ve been picking off cucumber beetles from my squash plants as I see them, but I’m afraid they may have already laid eggs & larvae are growing. I’m not sure how to tell but would love to try this product to be on the safe side.

Thanks,
Andrew

I am trying to figure out what is causing my cucumbers to wilt and die. The seeds germinated and grew rapidly as one would expect into healthy vines until about 2 -3 weeks ago. Then the leaves on certain vines began to look dusky and wilt almost overnight it looks like the vines are dead. They have now turn yellow and the leaves are crispy brown and falling off. I still have 10-12 vines that dont seem to be effected yet, but every couple days it seems like another one is biting the dust. We are against using toxic pesticides and would love a eco-friendly pest control method. We would like to test your product. Thanks

Last year my pumkins died from squash bugs. This year i sprayed kitchen liquid soap detergent everyday on my plants. I missed a few days and now the cucumber bettles are everywhere and a portion of my plant is dying. They are everywhere on my zuchinni and cucumber plant. Making holes in leaves and spreading disease. I need a stronger defence against these buggars! Thanks.

My garden is all of a sudden overrun with cucumber beetles! We were getting a ton of squash and now my plants are starting to wilt and fall over. I’m so nervous that they are going to distroy my cukes and melons! The EcoSmart would be great to try.

I just discovered cucumber beetles in my garden and I am very dismayed because I have over 4,000 sq. ft of vegetables to protect. I am growing 3 types of cucumbers, cantalope, watermelon, 3 types of squash, pumpkins, and zucchini. In years past, I have had wilt on my pumpkin leaves and didn’t realize what it was. I am looking for an organic way to destroy these pests while protecting my cats, my daughter, and the groundwater that runs very close to the surface of my garden. Help!

I recently moved to the country and have only been able to establish a small garden. My cucumber plants seemed to be doing well and producing blooms. I also had some small cucumbers. Then something started happening to the leaves. Some looked like something was eating them, others had spots on them. A few days ago, I had a nice cucumber that I thought would be ready to pick. Today that cucumber looked like it was starting to wither away. I looked at the other small cucumbers and they looked bad also. I sure could use some help. I haven’t seen any beetles, but I haven’t looked early in the morning either.

I also would love to test your product. Is it safe for the good guys – ladybugs etc? I have several different types of bugs living on my cucumbers and squash. Grrr. Its a never ending battle! Been using Diatemacious earth but it only seems to work is sprayed directly on the bugs. Thanks for the wonderful information on your site!
