Flea beetles can transmit viruses and bacterial diseases, too, so you do want
to prevent them. Margaret's suggestion of row covers is a good one.
You might also want to try beneficial nematodes which will eat the larvae in
the soil. If you don't have a local source, you can mail order them from The
Bug Store - http://www.bugstore.com/
I agree with you, Sevin is not a good idea. If covers and nematodes don't do
the trick, an alternative spray can be made by mixing 1 tablespoon of
isopropyl alcohol with a pint of diluted pyrethrum. --Janis
