Flea Beetles Flea beetles can do considerable damage to many crops. There are a number of species of beetles, they are tiny little black insects or black and yellow, that hip when you touch them, like a chip. They chew small holes in the leaves, and nothing is done, can cause crop losses. Flea beetles are most active in warm weather and seem to disappear once the weather turns cold.

Control-A natural way to control flea beetles is to start early, when plants are still small, sprinkling diatomaceous earth (DE) for the leaves. As its name suggests, the diatomaceous earth is composed of tiny little ocean diatoms which were dried powder. It is available in many garden centers or nurseries Web sites and is relatively inexpensive. The powder is razor sharp to soft-bodied insects and causes fatal damage soon.
