Most of the old reliable insecticides are pretty useless anymore. Think "survival of the fittest." What populations we have left are pretty immune to all but the most exotic of the new pesticides. Here in potato country the farmers have pounded on them with almost anything they can get their hands on, and the suvivor potato beetles are a big enemy to handle. Go to the big box stores, and some highschool kid clerk will consult the chart book, and come up with Sevin, or something equally useless, I tell them that my bugs eat that for desert.

Then pinching off every bug I can find by hand, - daily inspections, and Malathion, or a cocktail of whatever old insecticides I have on the shelf, when things get outta hand. Probably can't find Admire on the open market, don't ask how I got a gallon of it, but I'm told it's in the $50 a gallon class..
