Chrissy Member Joined: Apr 2004 Ohio	Hi Duckie:) I found this on the web...have never had asparagus bettles, so I have never tried to be rid of them. Quote Derris dust or sprays are effective organic insecticides for this pest. They are derived from plants and are acceptable to organic growers. It came from this website: Gardening Which - Asparagus Problems

You can spray it on the asparagus beetles and then stand there and watch them die, it's so quick. I've also tried covering with row cover, but that's kind of a pain when you have to pick every day.
