Search for crucifer flea beetle for some help with control methods. Joan Belfield, ND (Zone 4a) July 31, 2002 2:29 AM Post #315566 Thanks Sue. I'm off to search for control methods.

At least when they munch on flower plants or fruiting veggies, they're not eating the reason you're growing them!

They just seem to appear, eat what suits them and they are gone as fast as they appear.
