colorado potato beetles are the correct name i believe. The only thing i have problems with them eating is potatos also ,though some folks say they will eat tomatoes up .They also eat bull nettles ive noticed so they arent all bad!.I used sevin dust for a long time and it worked well,but now i just turn quail loose in garden.chickens will take care of them also, if you really want to go organic.I like quail because they are poor scratchers and wont dig out seeds or small plants.I do lose a few to critters though.My quail are so tame that they will come right up to you and get under your feet.I just wait until they covey up late of an evening then scoop them up in a fish net and put them in a cage the chicken house.If you dont have cats or dogs that will chase them during the day just an occasional hawk or owl will get one.As of last night,i started with eight and have 7 left this year.Mine become pets with all the girls around here ,but you can put them up in the freezer also in the fall if they dont squeal too loud.we have poultry only auctions around here,so i buy them pretty cheap, generally around $1.00 to $1.50 each and they are very easy to keep.my uncle used to keep bantams in his garden all the time,and they did well also.they also would go back to the chicken house of a night to roost so all he had to do was shut them up,but my quail wont.
