I am just wondering what everyone uses for insects(svbs, cuke bettles..) during the year. We have a veggie garden next to the pumpkin patch. What pesticides would you recomend(talastar, merit)? Thanks

I get good control using Triazicide (gamma cyhalothrin .25%)
contact insecticide for use on vegetables.
I apply every 10 - 14 days

Garlic works wonders for cucumber beetles and it is safe to handle unless you are a vampire.
