Yellow Striped Cucumber Beetle is a difficult pest. The only
pesticides that work on it, to my knowledge, are not organic. A different
strategy that can delay infestation though is to put spun-bonded row covers over
the crop after planting. They can remain until flowering, when bees need to work
on pollination. this works well for summer squash, cucumbers and
melons.
I would have liked to see the attra publication. They are
usually very good. But the link did not work. Perhaps Steve Diver could comment
on controlling the beetle.
