So. Maine

Cuke Beetles have arrived in So. Maine. Last year I saw my 1st one on June 6 . Here it is May 30th and saw 5 this morning so I dusted lightly with 7 dust and they are knocked out. Al

I've usually been beat up pretty good by now & I haven't. Cool weather or Scimitar/Pounce combination perimeter spray? Either may have helped. But it was probably both.

Got the news last week from central CT. Still haven't seen them here & most years I'm fully entreched by now. Must be the Scimitar!

I haven't seen any yet; last year they were in the patch BEFORE the pumpkins. I suspect this is due to the constant rain & cool temps. I seem to recall them appearing after a few days of 80-degree weather...still waiting on it. Bryan

blasted cuke beetles are at my patch now. They seem to be enjoying my tomatoes the most. I have been using sevin on the patch.
