I've got a bunch of cucumber beetles coming in. It's that time of year. I sprayed pyrethrin and that seems to work for a day or two then their back. Anyone have a "go to" insecticide for them that works for a few days?

Anything with imidacloprid in it. Or the old liquid Sevin. Or Cyonara.

Those are the top 3 that I use here.

Andy's right! I found some "old" Seven, i.e. the one made with Carbaryl and used. All the cucumber beetles are dead and the stuff is killing any new ones that come around. Carbaryl/Sevin is now my 'go to" for cucumber beetles. Aphids got me last year too. I'll post a thread for them too. I used Avid last year which is systemic, and took time to work.
