These cucumber beetles I'm seeing will attack anything yellow or even just has a yellow flower it seems. This includes tomatoes, melons, beans, etc. This year they laid their eggs on my amaranth! Although only the melons failed to survive the attack, they delayed maturation by at least 2 weeks. I'm looking for something organic and safe to spray.

I have seen spotted cucumber beetles around my organic garden and have been able to eliminate them by hand picking them off as I see them. But they just keep coming back. Is there any effective organic spray I can use which won't poison my plants? I have some really nice tomatoes and squash growing too and I'm afraid if I don't treat, these beetles will start eating everything.

I have been using insecticidal soap for many years and though it has worked in the past, it seems like the beetles just come back in a day. Is this not working anymore? What other organic remedy can you suggest? Cucmber beetles seem to be pretty tough.

I'm seeing some cucumber beetles in my garden. I know what they are because they used to be in my old garden. I'd like something natural I can spray so I can get this problem under control right away and treat as needed. What do you suggest?
