You are talking about pyrethrins and I mentioned this in post #7.

I think I sprayed rather than using dust.
And yes,where I am in upstate NY about an hour north of Albany on the VT border there are both the striped and spotted cuke beetles,just as there were at the old farm which was much closer to Albany.
