Yeah but you can nail the squash bugs by going to the garden store- the other mess is going to take some real effort to even marginally succeed.
Does your extension office have information on how to avoid squash bugs next year? If you go to the University of Nebraska NebGuides, they have one that is good.
Thanks handmade! I’ll read the squash bug lit from UofN. I sell at the local farmer’s market and all the natural growers here have been slammed this year with the squash bugs. (Area: Northern AZ).
I finally broke down and opened a can of whoop-ass poison to save my other pumpking patch. None of the organic methods made a dent. They did well for the other pests like the tomato hornworms. Used Bt and smote them.
