How to control blister beetles?

Beet    Orrtanna, PA

I've been having issues with Blister Beetles eating my Swiss Chard and beet greens. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of them?

Depending on how bad the infestation, the solution could be as simple as hand-picking them from your plants. Obviously wear a pair of gloves if you are going to attempt this! You could also use a paint brush to brush them into a bucket of soapy water or shake the plants to dislodge them into the bucket.
