This is what happens when the pumpkins slow down and you quit spraying. Both spotted and striped beetles. They are EVERYWHERE. Right after harvest the patch will get nuked with insecticide. After the bugs are dead, the vines will be pulled, chopped and composted for other garden plants. Then we add the fall manure and wait for next growing season.
