Sprayed insecticide Monday evening, Triazicide. I only saw one cucumber beetle yesterday. Today they were back in force. mostly on the 1200 and 899. I just got done spraying bifenthrin. Next insecticide will be Merit, followed by Sevin and then back to Triazicide. I added Daconil and Mancozeb due to the high humidity, calm winds and fog 2 nights in a row. I found the first PM, 2 leaves on the 1200. I saw them after I hit them with the spray, so I will remove them tomorrow. I saw a groundhog munching on field pumpkins, but he got into the brush before I could draw my revolver. That critter has a bullet with his name on it. If I go down there without the revolver on my belt, the groundhogs and rabbits will just sit and taunt me.
