Are you sure it's insects and not snails or slugs? My beans were ravaged

and I have a few melon and squash
plants. I've started to spray the garden with a mixture of Ivory Liquid
and corn oil, we'll see if that helps.

Here is a link to pictures of the garden,

I can't say for sure. I don't see any snails but that doesn't mean that
they aren't the cause, I know I have snails in the backyard because in
the days when I had an outdoor cat I would find snails on his water dish.

I'll run down to Agway and see if they have any iron phosphate, thanks
for the suggestion.
