New Mexico is known for them, especially in our particular region.
But I LOVE growing squash!
It has taken a regular routine beginning as soon as I see the adults.
Duct tape...another great use for it:
I duct tape off the eggs and I duck tape off the creepy little off spring- both when they\'re the tiny black stage and the pale grey next level.
I hard spray the plant base which draws up the adults and grab those suckers and toss them in soapy water.
I soapy water the area at base of plant when I see the young ones there.
My BEST find of All tho is aloe vera!!! It helps the plants fight off and recover from the virus/bacterial infectio... read more

I have devoted a considerable amount of time thinking about and dealing with this bug. Can't put all info down here.
1) This bug is tough ( and smart ?). Tried using tanglefoot on a board as a trap baited with attached to vine live squash fruit. It was able to walk thru it ! Most often it simply crawled along the vine and thus over the sticky board to get to fruit.
2) Covered each small fruit with reemway bag to stop bug from feeding on fruit. It worked well, but left the rest of vine to their lack of mercy.
3) Most squash plants are a tangled long mess and very hard and expensive to spray and so spraying is not a good solution.
Some people claim planting alot of onions around the plant... read more
