From what I have read on-line, my cucumbers have pickleworms. We were able to harvest 6 cucumbers before we picked one (2 days ago) that had evidence of a pickleworm and another one today. Has anyone dealt with them before? Were you able to get rid of them and still harvest any cucumbers? If you treated your plants, what did you use to treat them?
TIA!

Re: Pickleworms..
I have no experience with pickleworms! I've never even heard of them. But I did a search since I'm nosy like that! LOL Here's a few links I found that may be helpful to you:

The UTK link is from my state's agricultural extension, but it lists Non-chemical control methods.
Call your local agricultural extension and see if they have control methinds for you. HTH.
Thanks for the links! I didn't even think to call my local agricultural extension to see what methods they suggest.
