Re: Cucumber beetles
Daconil is a fungicide great for powdery mildew. It might give
cuc beetles a little indigestion but it won't kill them. Try
the Sevin powder or you can also get Sevin in liquid form and
spray your plant. A little Sevin powder on your pumpkin and
it's handle will help prevent the beetles from knawing holes in
them...
