no, just squash.
thank you for your replies I will try the water test. My squash is in with my fruit trees, will the squash bug mess up my fruit trees?
I have read that Guinea Fowl are "the only thing that works." They eat the bugs but don't scratch like chickens do. They are noisy at times and wouldn't be appreciated in dense populations.
I tried a vacuum and soapy water and lost most of my squas…
A good test to see if you have the squash bugs is to water overhead and around the base of the stem, then get down and look for them on the plant. They hate water, and tend to move in an upward fashion on the leaves and stalks of the squash plants.…
Today I spent hours looking under all my squash leaves. Then tonight I found what looked like there eggs on a tomato leaf... I will keep hunting but I think they have the upper hand...
Thanks for all the info and you help
Those guys hide everywhere. You would need to have a clean slate hospital room to allow no places for them to hide! Heck, I have found them hanging out between bricks in the sidewalks during winter. Got a leaf in the yard? Yeah they will find it, so…

thank you
Hello I have tones of afids on all my letuce, bok choy and sunflowers how can I get them to lay off my veggies and save some for me?
I never saw any butterflies, the plants are a month old. I have been picking them off, but for everyone I pick 5 more sprout out
My husband and I have been having problems too. He is also handpicking the worms, but he really enjoys (maybe too much?) throwing them against the block wall when he finds one! I am just reading a homemade solutions type book and they said that duri…
thanks I've been picking I need chickens....
I get those too. I think they're cabbage loopers.
Other than picking them off by hand, I'm had also been spraying the leave with bT.
My latest strategy is to spread out some diatomaceous earth atop the soil and plants. Hoping that will help.
