Hello,
The other day I was cutting off male flowers off of my plant and noticed a cucumber beetle that was on the pollen inside the bloom dead. Should I spray my whole plant with sevin or not worry about it? I have not used any kind of insecticide and have not seen any other type of insect. I do have aphids on my tomatoes that I sprayed with sevin that is the only insect I have had a problem with.
I appreciate it

spray it....cucumber beetles bring the blight!...It only takes one bite and the whole plant can go down...They vector one of the worst diseases known to pumpkins...The plant just wilts down.
