Question
I have little yellow, round, fuzzy bugs on my green beans, wax beans and limas.  I also see tiny yellow eggs on the underside of the leaves.  What is the best way to handle these pests?  If you squish them, they leave a yellow goo on your hands. What are they?

Answer
These are the larvae of squash bugs. You can control them with pyrethrum, an organic pesticide that is a derivative of the chrysanthemum flower. It is non-toxic to humans and pets, but highly effective against most insects. You can purchase this product at your local garden center or on-line at sites like Gardens Alive or Planet Natural.

I hope this information helps. Please write again if I can ever be of assistance.

Regards,

Mike
