So this year my patch is at work for my internship....well we are organic so all sprays have to be organic OMRI

Here's the fun part! We have a terrible amount of cucumber beetles...
Is there any organic product that will actually kill them and I don't have to apply every day?

Anything with pyrethrum should work well. That's about the only really effective organic insecticide for a quick knock down.

We are gonna try captain Jack's dead bug brew. It everywhere I looked said it is the best organic insecticide out there.

Organocide with stinky fish and sesame oil "helps".

Or build a moat, and instead of adding water and alligators, keep a permanent fire burning.
