Flea beetles eat up my eggplant seedlings if I don't use Sevin. I would like to be able to grow them organically. From what I read, rotenone is effective and classified as organic. I might try that next year.

Other advice is to plant "trap crops" like mustard and radish, but it seems like that would be a double-edged sword. It might just draw more of them to the general area.
