Re: cuke beetles


If I have been spraying Ortho Max every two weeks, then why am I seeing them?  
Can I spray Ortho Max every week?

Debbie

I've been treating my patch with ortho max and the bayer bug killer mixed at
the recommended mix every 2 weeks, been keeping them at bay.  I've always
had fits with squash bugs.  I treated the soil during the soil prep stage
with grub killer per advice from this group.  with all these chemicals, i've
seen less pests than I ever have.   I spray of an evening, while the
blossoms are closed, that way the bees can still do what they need to do.
