I used Pyganic during last seasons onslaught and it didn't have much effect. Maybe some knock down and very short term.  I used Entrust this spring during the early spike in FB and noticed good efficacy. We applied twice about two weeks apart and had great control.

In the past, I have used row cover and Surround to help with flea beetles.
I am looking for improved and easier to use controls.  These may include Pyganic (but is broad spectrum and does in beneficials, as well as pests) and Mycotrol, Azaguard (neem), and Safer Insect Soap.  I have also been told that diatomaceous earth (D.E.) works.  Has anyone had experience with any of these and, if so, how well did they work?  Pro's?  Con's?

Thanks,
