Companion planting, manual removal, mulching, row covers and spraying are ways to rid zucchini plants of black and yellow bugs. The insects in question, called cucumber beetles (Acalymma spp), can be discouraged from attacking roots and shoots by applying, and changing seasonally or yearly, mulch and installing floating row covers. Companion planting bee-balm, marigolds and zinnias to attract cucumber beetle-eating beneficials and radishes, whose smell is repugnant to cucumber beetles and other pests, may need one-by-one removal by gloved hand into soapy water-filled buckets and sprays whose ingredients include diluted cayenne pepper and dish-washing soap.
