ugh they’re all over my zukes too — it’s like a cucumber beetle conference, it’s sick. i just sprayed with neem oil 😬 how long have you been treating? i just noticed them this morning — going to research some other options 🧐

I have some diatomaceous earth — i might try that. i see traps online too

I sprayed last Sunday and this Sunday. So it’s had 2 treatments. I planned on spraying once a week but they seriously aren’t giving a crap about it.

Ooo I gotta go look!

Oh I just looked they are just sticky traps like you would use for fungus gnats. I have a whole bunch I’m gonna hang one

Update I just went out at 8:30pm in my garden and placed multiple yellow sticky traps. When I finished I walked back around and one sticky trap had 2 cucumber beetles on it already
