I found about 20 cucumber beetles in the garden. I would like to use neem
or introduce ladybugs, green lacewings, or praying mantises but I canot find
anyone who carries them. Mail order will not due, due to the urgency of the
issue. Anyone in upstate ny know where these products are sold?

http://www.gardensalive.com ships quite quickly - they might
be your best bet. Use express shipping.

I'm in northern PA - I've had NO luck in finding organic
controls locally. Just unheard of.

Thanks this sight looks excellent! I'm going to try some of the home
remedies. I'll let you know how I make out.
