I did a Google search and they said you can wrap the young stems with foil to keep the buggers at bay. Will try that on some of the plants to see how that works.

I have planted vining squash, and I am finding eggs=little brown dots- on my high up vines, too. Johnny said bacillus thuringensis in a syringe shot into the vines kills em. A guy on you tube picks the frass from the hole,and shoots insecticidal soap in them.

Right now, at the grocery stores there are beautiful zucchini. I want whatever those commercial growers are using to kill the plant killing SVB larvae.
