| I have bugs, very small, yellow colored, all over my squash and cucumber plants. They leave a slick, sticky film on the leaves and the plant dies. What are they and how do I get rid of them? |

| Your limited description really doesn't provide any clues that would narrow down the choice of possibilities. The most common pest is cucumber beetles of course and some of them are yellow but they also have stripes or black polka dots and they don't slime the plant. See the link below with the pics and see if that is them. Dave |
