The only thing that I have ever found that works reliably with flea beetles is row cover.  I put it down within a day of the crop being transplanted or seeded.  If I have a concern that some beetles are already present, I'll spray with Pyganic also.

Anyone have any luck with these?

WE applied them a few years ago and saw no benefit but it's obvious that its possible to have a nematode package that's not viable.

Before my need to control flea beetles causes me to spend $100 on these guys again, I thought I'd ask if they've workd for anyone else on this list

Thanks
