Bean Beatles - those nasty things! - September 25th, 2006 at 02:08 AM
I posted this in another place on this garden forum but didn't get any responses......then found that this was a better location. So I am trying again.
Every year we have to fight to keep our bean plants! It just isn't fair! This year we have 4 trellises of poll beans - the smallest number in a long time, my mom likes to freeze them.
Right now my mom is trying to keep it organic and is using Pyola to kill them, works if you keep up with it but if you miss a week or two because of rain or you get busy they get a head start on you and it is hard to catch up.
My mom said that next year she might have to use something that is not organic to try to rid our place of these pests.
Any ideas on how to get rid of them?
