Does anyone know of a systemic pesticide that will work on SVB? How about traps (sticky or other) that will work for cucumber beetles?

One systemic that is said to work on vine borers is called Merit. Check the other post about borers for details. I use liquid Sevin on cucumber beetles with good success. As long as you stay ahead of them and spray once per week, I think cucumber beetles are fairly easy to control. I have heard of using boards to trap squash bugs. They will go under boards placed in your garden. Just turn the boards over and start squishing them.
