Hi, Folks!

The problem is that the striped cucumber beetles AREN'T dying and are
munching away my nice squash and melon transplants.

What do folks do to get rid of them? I can't row cover all that area. Has
anyone tried the corn rootworm nematodes -- did it work?

Thanks for the suggestions -- I'm tearing my hair out here!
