What are these bugs on my cuke vines? You can see they are destroying them! Will Safer insectidal soap spray take care of them?

Yep that's it. Guess it's Sevin for them now. Thanks a bunch for the link.

Glad I could help. Now I've got to start looking because I just noticed this morning some brown itty-bitty things on the bottom of my cuke leaves!
