Default Cucumber beetles, help

My wife went out to garden today and found my largest pumpkin plant
decimated by these little black and white striped beetles, maybe 1/8" in
size. I think they are cucumber beetles. She sprayed them with some chemical
general purpose veggie and fruit tree insecticide. Is there a better way to
take care of these? What is a recommend way to keep them from damaging
plants?
