  1. There was a similar question about 3 months ago on Yahoo about worms on strawberries. The answer was to mix up some dried chili pepper & water. Put it in a spray bottle & spray it on your cucumbers. The worms can't handle it & should die. I would try it. I've used this solution (cayenne pepper & water) on other outside plants before & it works. Hope this helps.


  2. Organic/Biological Control:

    *******No known******* organic/biological control ********

    for pickleworm at this time.

    Chemical Control:

    Begin treating with a registered insecticide plants at first sign of worms in blossoms and buds; worms must be killed before they enter the fruits.
