I anxious to know what you think of my idea for squash bugs. I came to this area three years ago, my previous home had a huge garden that grew everything so well. I canned and dehydrated and gave away vegetables like mad. We actually put boxes of vegetables by the road with a sign - FREE VEGETABLES, HELP YOURSELF. Unfortunately my husband and I became ill and could no longer live by ourselves. We moved in with our daughter and loving to garden, I started a container garden. I got over 36 totes and ran into some things that were strange to me. First it was the squash bugs and eggs then the heat over 115 degrees. I sprayed soapy water almost daily and smushed eggs. We put up shade cloth and all we ever got the first two years was two little zucchinis. This year I tried a new approach. I bought tulle cloth and covered my squash plants right away. They seemed to be doing well and I ate a nice zucchini one day. I thought I had it made until I discovered holes in the tulle and the bugs were inside and outside. I got my soapy spray again and smushed eggs, ugh! Then I started seeing dead leaves and they quit blooming. I declared WAR! I went on a rampage of spraying and I purchased 4 tubes of B-7000 super glue and turned over every leaf I could find and dabbed all the eggs with it. It has been 4 days now and I know it takes about 14 days for them to hatch but I noticed only one adult bug and the egg shells seem to have melted! I don’t think they will be hatching. I’m not claiming victory yet but what do you think of this idea?

It Works! No more eggs hatched. I sprayed the adults and nymphs with soapy water. In a week I only found 2 adults and killed them. It has been a month and NO MORE SQUASH BUGS!

I think it’s hilarious and brilliant at the same time 😂 I sure never would have thought of it. I wouldn’t be able to implement it because of the size of my garden. I’m curious though, wouldn’t it take just as long to scrape the eggs off as it would to cover them in glue? I’d just be concerned for the problems it might cause if you accidentally got the glue on yourself. 😂 On another note, if you used a garden fleece to cover your plants like you did with the tulle, that could be your best bet. Here’s an example: Plant Covers Freeze Frost Protection, 50 FT x 10 FT Frost Cloth Plant Freeze Protection Cover, Frost Blankets for Outdoor Plants, Summer Overheat Prevention and Insects Barrier for Outdoor Plants a.co/d/ao7Wu6Z
