Is it possible we are starting to see some resistant strains of cuke beetles? Plants were treated here the cuke beetles seem to be laughing at it. They did not laugh at the triazicide.(more like gasp and karplunk)

Striped cuke beetles didn't laugh at the Merit my plants are treated with. The were all dead yesterday when I found them. Getting Triazicide today.

There have been some insects becoming resistant. Potato beetles for instance. Clothianidin is another systemic option that I have used & it is MUCH faster & stronger than Merit. But it is another neonicitinoid insecticide so Arena will eventually also fail if Merit does.
