I have sprayed triazicide at a rate of .5 oz. per gallon per 300 sq.ft. on june 30 and july 9 and am still seeing cucumber beetles. Any comments or sugestions would be much appreciated.

I have used Imidacloprid for the last two seasons and I don't find a trace of them anymore. This year when some of my wifes plants were getting eaten I gave them a dose of Imidacloprid and it has stopped them. I use triazicide also but I use double the amount you use. It doesn't seem to harm anything and I find dead insects often on my leafs. Since they don't seem to be eating the leafs I guess it would be the Triazicide.

i'm assuming that triazicide will act in the same manner as warrior-t, since they have the same active ingredient.
so- it acts more as a repellant than anything else. it will kill them, especially if ingested, but the main thing is to keep up with the new growth.

Iv'e been using triazicide the last 2 years. I spray every 10 days. If I keep seeing beetles I spray more often every 6 or 7 days instead of doubling the dose. I also cut off all the male flowers "after" I'm sure my pumpkin is set. Since triazicide is not systemic the beetles can fly directly into the newly opened flowers and feed without ingesting the poision.
