Pests - Cucumber Beetles and Fire Ants

Well everything is planted, papered and mulched. I have fought fire ants and cucumber beetles. I think I have won. Although I still see cucumber beetles hanging out on my crookneck squash.

Here is my first run in with the cucumber beetles. They ate my zucchini seedlings so I pulled and threw them out. Little pests and they are still hanging out with my full grown squash:



Here is my fire ant infestation in one plot. Then they moved to another plot but I think I got 'em gone now. See the white dust out in the grass? Then they were also in my cucumber seedlings.
