bean leaves

Mon Jul 06, 2015 4:00 pm

Something is eating holes in the (bush) bean leaves, leaving some lacy. I have looked for eggs, larva, adult thinking the pesky Bean Beetle. Nada! Can't spray or treat without knowing what hungry thing I am feeding. Any ideas?
Have fun!

She looked for signs of the Mexican bean beetle, the jumpy flea beetle, no evidence of critter so far.
Bring out the SEVN!! Well, perhaps not. Neem? suggestions?
Have fun!

Susan some pictures of the leaves might help diagnose. I would have said bean beetles, too....

What do the holes look like?

Haven't noticed much in Japanese beetles. Side note -when we were kids, (SE Mass) my Mother would send us out with cans of soapy water for the foraging beetles. Bring on the Sevin!
Have fun!

Right now, here at least, they are just starting to show up so they are not numerous and they move around a lot. A typical sign is poopy mess and ragged eaten leaves like those.
(Stop saying Sevin :x ...sounds to me like you are cursing/saying a "bad word" :lol:)

Let's just say Sevin is the S-Word for gardeners? Get's one's attention.......

Anyway, back to this pot of bush beans. I may try Neem in the AM. I have spray bottle and just may try it, been on the shelf for 1 year.
Have fun!
