I recently read in Elliot Coleman's book that a vacuum was very effective in controling beetles.  I had a serious flea beetle infestation and remembered a small vacuum I bought years ago for cleaning the inside of my computer--very light weight and gentle.  Since I am a small-scale grower and only had one 3'x50' bed of infested plants to do, I ran a couple of extension cords from the closest outlet and vacuumed away!  Worked great!!

Can anyone tell me what will get rid of beetles, stink bugs and vine borers? We are over-run with them and have resorted to a pesticide that the little suckers are laughing at!  HELP?!?! Thanks,Pat  Vic & Pat Jackowsky
