Besides, what bug is eating my green beans?The bean leaf beetle (Cerotoma trifurcata) is a pest of snap beans (also called string beans or green beans). Adult beetles feed on the undersides of leaves, creating round, 1/8 inch diameter holes. They can also feed directly on the pod.Subsequently, question is, how do I get rid of aphids on my runner beans? Remove as many aphids as you can by hand or, if possible, cut off infested shoots and stems on susceptible shrubs. Spray the infested areas of a plant with a strong jet of water to keep aphid numbers down. I find that a “pump up” sprayer helps enormously when tender plants such as runner bean flowers are concerned. Accordingly, what to spray on green beans for bugs? A homemade spray of dish soap and water will dry out soft-bodied insects such as thrips, aphids, mites and the juvenile stages of some beetles.How do I keep bugs off my beans?Spray aphids, spider mites or leafhoppers off green bean foliage and stems with a strong jet of water from your garden hose. Look on the underside of the leaves as well as the surface for these bugs. Hand-pick adult beetles off leaves. Dispose of the bugs by dropping them into a jar of soapy water.
