Natural Pesticide For Cucumber Plants

Cucumber beetles attack cucumber, acorn and squash plants. Both the spotted cucumber beetle and the striped cucumber beetle attack cucumbers. The striped variety also attacks squash and melon crops.

When it comes to plants, there are few pests as troublesome as cucumber beetles. They attack a wide variety of crops, including cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Cucumber beetles are yellow with black stripes or spots. Their legs and antennae are black as well.

Like most other insects, the striped cucumber beetle lays eggs on the underside of leaves in order to protect them from predators such as birds and rabbits. The eggs hatch into larvae which then move onto other plants in search of food for themselves and their young.

The spotted cucumber beetle feeds exclusively on fruits like tomatoes but may also be found on pumpkins or squash plants that are not yet producing fruit—it can be hard to tell whether these bugs are feeding on your plant’s leaves or its fruit until they start causing damage!

Cucumber beetle larvae eat plant roots and stems directly through the soil. They also act as hosts to a number of soil-borne diseases. To combat this, apply beneficial nematodes. Beneficial nematodes are microscopic worm-like creatures that hunt down pests in the soil and destroy them within 48 hours.

You can purchase beneficial nematodes at garden centers. Apply them in the spring and again in the fall for best results.

Use 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap with 1 gallon of water in a clean spray bottle. Shake the bottle well to combine the soap water mixture before each use to keep the solution evenly distributed. Apply this mixture to all areas of infestation to protect your cucumber plants from aphids, mites and other insects that feast on your plants during the growing season.

After you’ve prepared your natural pesticide for cucumber plants, apply it to all areas of infestation by spraying gently over the leaves and stems of your plants three times per week until symptoms are gone.

Combine 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper with 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over low heat on the stove. Stir this mixture until it simmers for about 5 minutes, then remove it from heat and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a spray bottle for application to infested areas on your cucumber plants when needed. The cayenne pepper deters flies, wasps, beetles and most species of ants from attacking your cucumber plants without harming your crops or pollinators such as butterflies or bees.
