We have the un-luck to have gotten corn flea beetles in what was absolutely beautiful corn. I have visited many websites on this problem but I am not finding any way to control them or the disease they cause. It just says to plant resistent varieties next year. :( Is it true there is no control for them? Shall we just give up on the corn? ::sniffs:: Missouri Z 5b.
Regular(?) flea beetles are controlled with Sevin. You might read the label on a bottle and see what dose etc to use for corn, if applicable. One thing I found, Sevin and pumpkins DO NOT like each other. 'kins are almost dead...grrrr....

no you don't have to give up on your corn. Just make sure you water your corn every day and use mulch
Are flea beetles a problem caused by not enough water then?
