They are now starting on my pumpkins. tHERES NO WAY TO KILL THE EGGS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LEAFS, not possible to pick off the leafs either as there are eggs on all of them. I sprayed with eight at the first sign of them, but it didn't faze them much. Sprayed the second time and it seemed to help, but they moved to my cuckumbers then. I would love to get a free sample of your product to try, too late for this year but would be a great help for next year if it works. Hope you will send at least a sample, if you do, and it works, you'll have a customer for life. AI raise a huge garden every year, almost a whole acre and plant a lot of cucks, pumpkins, and various kinds of squash. Send it soon so I'll have it on hand right away next spring and when it works can get my order in before its too late for the rest of the garden. I have lost all my cuckumbers and my zuccini.

Yaay! :-) (The little tiny yard I had before was jam-packed with flowers and sometimes squash!) This year, being my first, I only planted flowers, tomatoes, melon, and squash. They've been doing great!! Last week I needed to pull some of the squash/melon vines off a crepe myrtle and encourage them in a different direction. A couple of days later, I noticed a bunch of bugs on the vines, and wondered whether they were good bugs or bad. The next morning I went out, and that part of the vine was completely dead! Obviously they are bad bugs!! I talked to my Mom about it, and she asked, "Are they squash bugs?" I had no idea, so I looked them up...and sure enough! When I see them or their eggs, I eliminate them, but with all the watering & weeding and homeschooling I do, there is no possible chance I have time to go leaf by leaf!! I will try putting a board over there - I can definitely do that. Thanks for the tips! I finally live where I can have flower gardens, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees!

So far this year they took out my yellow squash, then moved on to my zucchini, then my spaghetti squash and finally took out my cucumbers! They have since left my garden and moved on to my neighbors and killed all of their squash and cucumbers. Hopefully next year with this new found wisdom we will have healthy fruitful plants! Thank you so very much! So happy to finally know what these monsters are and how to get rid of them!

My worst nightmare. They showed up two years ago on my yellow squash and this year on my zucchini. I guess I'm going back to cucumbers next year since I had good luck with them in the past.

My 4 yr old and I worked really hard to plant this nice garden. We were able to get some nice cucumbers out of it before the cucumber (now learning about them) destroyed the rest of our crop. Now, finding out what a squash bug is after researching these nasty little critters. She and I have lost our zuch's and they are now working on our pumkins. What do I do? I am going to try the board thing. I have cut off several stems and bagged them up for the trash but, short of that I'm lost. I have tried a garlic spray, oil sprays...please help. She and I are on our way out to squash some more of these suckers now. Any help would be appreciated! This is my first year of having my own organic garden.

One zucchini and it looks like that may be it. Time to start using some of these tips and see if I can salvage them before fall. First year garden at the new house and squash bugs have invaded!
