I think that this is the first year I've seen asparagus beetles in my stand, though not alot.  I certainly see plenty of wasps in my greenhouse, though.  Is there a preferred OMRI approved control or just knock ' em down at night?  Plenty of flea beetles on the brassicas, too.  Does anyone useI think that this is the first year I've seen asparagus beetles in my stand, though not alot.  I certainly see plenty of wasps in my greenhouse, though.  Is there a preferred OMRI approved control or just knock ' em down at night?  Plenty of flea beetles on the brassicas, too.  Does anyone use Beauveria bassiana (Mycotrol) with good success?  How big of an area of application is needed for adequate control?  How big of an area of application is needed for adequate control?

Anyone else seeing many more pests this spring?  Asparagus beetles are at least 10X what I experienced last year and we have an infestation of cucumber beetles in the high tunnel.  In past years, we haven't had near as many cucumber beetles in the house as outside, but this year it seems to be the opposite.
