pick them off... use DE powder. there have been many posts about DE. if you have questions give a shout. we can help you know how to use it. it is a fossil shell that has sharp edges. it cuts the bugs and eggs. happy days sherrye

I have some cucumber and zuchinni beetles- believe it or not at first I saw one and thought... "oh look a ladybug"- they I saw the lacey holes in my leaves and said now wait a minute. I have just been picking them off. I do have a question too.. is the DE that you use for a pool filter the same as the DE you use in the garden? Hope this is not too silly a question. Just thought if its the same poweder then- heck I already have that on hand from the pool! Thanks for the help! Laurie Farmgirl Sister#1403
