insects

All of my plants are starting to dye. My zukes and cukes all have large holes in the leaves and the zuke stems are being distroyed. The leaves are turnig yellow and are spotted. My cabbage also have large holes in them and the leaves are turning sort of a cream color. I have sprayed, fogged and sluggetta. Now the past two days I have found on a couple of leaves a brown substance it almost looks like chewing tobbacco spit. It is very small portion on a couple of leaves, not sure if that has any thing to do with my problem. I hope someone out there knows what the promblem is. It is driving me crazy. I have not seen any slugs but I have seen beetles. I have notice some very tiny tiny bugs runing all over the plant stems.
Thanks

RE: insects

g'day topdog,

nearly went the wrong way you are from ohio.

can't say for sure but you would be coming to the end of your growing seasn? maybe air temps and ground temp's might come into play? could be any sort of bug involved maybe some pic's might help, there are lady beetles and other beetles that will attack your cuce's and zuce's, the best control we find well for most bugs is an early mroning safari and do some squishing, for slugs/snails a just after dark torch light safari.
