Squash bugs are trying to take over.

Any tips on how to deal with squash bugs in the garden? These bastages are all over my squash and pumpkin plants.

Sevin spray.

Sevin works great on them. We used to grow 6 acres of pumpkins on a bad year they would ruin the actual pumpkins also. Warm fall days during harvest was the worst time. It was tough because we had a pick your own, and dint want the field stinking like spray. Had to take care of them early.

This is the first year that that the squash bugs have not just hammered us. I did spray Sevin when the plants were young, but slacked off when it warmed up. I have had a batch of little song birds keeping my garden clean this year.
