small bug infestation on pumpkin

17 years ago

I have never had anything like this with any garden I've ever had. A few weeks after transplanting my pumpkin seedlings into my garden, an insfestation of little dark colored bugs were all over my plant - mostly all over the flowers. I put Sevin powder on my entire garden and noticed that the bugs went away, but then my Marigolds got terribly infected by spider mites. I found out that the Sevin powder kills the good bugs that eat spider mites so I washed the Sevin powder off and these dark colored bugs are back with a vengence. What are they and how can I get rid of them for GOOD??? Any advice is welcome.
