Treating Beetles in the Garden

earwigs3 blister-beetles1spotted-cucWe’re seeing lots of bugs this year and especially over populations of earwigs on everything, blister beetles (gray elongated body) on clematis especially and spotted cucumber beetle on squash blooms.To treat Earwigs and Blister Beetles we have a selection of products to choose from containing spinosad (organic) in it.  Rotenone Dust (organic) also works well on Blister Beetle, but it is hard to find and should be used with caution and a mask should be worn when applying it.

Spotted Cucumber Beetle likes to gather in and feed on blossoms of squash and cucumber, so you can use the blossoms as a trap and collect them or use a spray with pyrethrin in it.
