| Over at froogle.google a search for orange "plastic pots" gives us one hit, just happens to be two inch, but the picture don't look too orange to me. |

| That link was fascinating and fun to read! I can't help but wonder if soapy water in the cup would also be effective to kill, instead of Sevin (soapy h2o kills JBs). Unfortunately I don't have any beetles to try it on; I plant radishes around the cukes, squashes, and melons; that seems to be effective so far. |

| "Unfortunately I don't have any beetles to try it on..." Umm. Shouldn't that be "fortunately"? :-) Jim |
