Need a solution to get rid of Cucumber Beetles
My Cucumber plants were doing very well until cucumber beetles started multiplying and started eating leaves and laying eggs in the fruit buds.
My cucumber plants are getting destroyed.
I tried soap and little bit vinegar, but of no avail.

Have you tried neem oil?
Hi Perminder. I agree with the above comments. Spray your cucumber plants with Neem Oil. You may have to do a second treatment later in the summer after eggs have hatched. Good luck Perminder.

Diatomaceous Earth, Food Grade. When they walk through it, it grinds through exoskeletons.
Japanese beetles. You can control by hand picking and putting in soapy water to kill them, or you need to spray. Lots of choices for sprays. Read label for insects controlled. Try to spray in late evening when need and butterflies are not active. You need to reapply if it rains. Follow label directions.
