Also saw my first cucumber beetle of the season today. I am ready with glue traps and lures. Has anyone had good luck with these?



And while we're at it, the squash vine borer moth has been making her rounds, as well. I'm going to try injecting Bt into the stems of the squash this time. If anyone wants to discuss further, we can start another thread, since this is really about Japanese beetles.


What is Bt? My daughter has had her pumpkin plants decimated by squash vine borers.
