Cute little yellow spotted bug in my garden...

Memphis, TN(Zone 7b)

...Is not so cute!!! How can I get rid it the cucumber beetle?!? I think it's what's turning my sweet corn yellow and eating all the cucumber, squash, pumpkin, and melon buds and I found the buggers on my lettuce the other day too! For the past few days, I've been smashing the ones I find and removing the leaves with red and white eggs on them and I sprayed a soap and water mixture on my plants over the weekend, but hubby says that could damage the plants if I'm not careful...

They seem to multiply. Can I get rid of them or are we stuck with them for life?

We also have stink bugs and I think I found a white fly on my beans this morning... ugh... Thank you!
