Answer :

Try 1 teasp of kitchen liquid soap w 1 qt of water in sprayer after sun goes down.  If you also grew broccoli or cauliflower you might need to use this mix on them also........I had them in our broccoli and I looked on every web site for pictures of this fast moving little black bug...no results...looks like it is in the beetle family but does not fly, it scatters fast.  When I I washed the veggies I used 1 cup salt in very cold water and soaked the veggies and this little black hard shelled bugs scattered out....good thing I did this outside or they would have been in the kitchen.  Then I just double rinsed.  They did not like the salt.........
