Squash bugs are horrid here. No little tricks works.
Have you tried one of the little puffer things with DE and/or spinosad?
I’m just asking :)
Our biggest issue is all bugs. But mainly the vine borers. Butternuts and a few varieties of pumpkin are all we can really grow because of those little stinkers.

Injecting Spinosad solution into the hollow vines kills the larva, but I am always afraid I will poke myself with the syringe.
That’s why I’ve switched to cucuzza. Not susceptible since stems aren’t hollow.
The UTSA Urbino Italy Campus has closed, and the students returned to the US yesterday. I saw Urbino has only 4 cases of covid19, but the province it is in has 61 cases.
UTSA, for those who may not know, is the University of Texas at San Antonio. The returning students have been asked to self quarantine for 14 days.
