RE: Organic Methods
Rotenone Dust repels and kills cucumber beetles. It is made from cube
roots, and is considered to be an organic remedy. It needs to be applied
frequently because you'll find that your vines grow very fast, and cucumber
beetles seem to prefer the newer vegetation. Dust your flowers in the
evening before they open to avoid getting dust inside the flower where bees
go.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone knew about alternative bug control other than
chemicals? I wonder how early settlers, and Native Americans grew their
crops naturally?
I have a lot of cucumber beetles on my plants, any way of getting rid of
them using a natural product? There must be other ways.
Finally sunny and warm day here in the 80's.
Mike
