OK yesterday afternoon when I went out to the patch
I noticed there was hundreds litterally hundreds of
these little yellow stripped cuke beetles ALL OVER
my plants. mainly on the top portion of the leaves and
on the stemps and new flowers. most of them were breeding
so i gave them all a good shot of BUG X it fixed the problem
for yesterday but today they are even wrose. The product I am useing is called BUG X it works but like it says on the bottle MUST HIT bugs to be active.

Is there any other type of stuff i can get that will last longer ? these bugs are literally eating my plants to death

Welp had enough of watching these little stripped cuke
bettles take over my plants. So went down to local garden center and picked up some organic BUG-B-GONE ( green earth product) powder, lightly misted the leaves stems and flowers
with the powder and hopefully this helps to controll them.

I couldnt believe it.. 2 new male flowers opened early this mourning when i got out into the patch at 9am this mourning
both flowers were literally FILLED with cuke bettles,, long story short not much left of the flowers, after the misting i removed those 2 flowers and tossed them in the garbage.

But ya hopefully the new powder helps controll them a bit better then the last product i used.
