Got hit with squash bugs this year, bad. First time ever. Already took out my yellow squash and it looks like i’m going to have to pick my acorn squash early.

Those are evil little monsters. I control them by placing cedar planks
about 2-feet away from the rows where they cuddle under during the daytime.
Then every couple days flip them and spray them down. Regular organic spray
does not kill them. You could also shopvac them up to keep the garden soil organic.
