How To Take Care Of Squash Bores
HOW TO IDENTIFY SQUASH VINE BORERS
Eggs: The eggs are tiny, flat, oval, and brown. The eggs are laid around the bases of squash plants.
Larvae: If you slit open a stem lengthwise with a fine, sharp knife, you will see the borer larva, which has a fat, white, wrinkled body and brown head; it can grow to about an inch long.
Moth: The adult squash vine borer is a moth about ½ inch long. It has a gray or black body, marked with orange-red on its abdomen, legs, and head. The hind wings are transparent and the front wings are metallic green.

IDENTIFYING SQUASH VINE BORER DAMAGE
First, the leaves of the plant will likely start to wilt inexplicably.
Look for holes at the base of the plant. Which is were the chewed up stem that the larvae produces as it burrows into the plant.
Squash vine borer larvae feed on the material inside the stems of the plants. The stem will start to rot at the site of the feeding first.
CONTROL AND PREVENTION
HOW TO PREVENT SQUASH VINE BORERS
As with most pests, prevention is key.
Sometimes, the best solution is to start your squash as early as possible. This way, plants will be strong enough to withstand any mid-summer attacks and you may even be harvesting before squash vine borers become active. If you plant early, you may need to be prepared to cover your plants in case of late frost.
Do not plant squash in the same area two years in a row. Squash vine borers overwinter in cocoons in the soil. Also, clean up and dispose of ALL plant debris in the fall.
As soon as the squash plants are finished for the season, dispose of them. Till the soil in the fall and spring to get rid of overwintering pupae.
Physical barriers can be an effective means of keeping squash vine borers at bay:
Cover the plants’ stems with a barrier, such as strips of nylon stockings or aluminum foil, to prevent egg laying.
Before flowers appear on the plants, use row covers to keep squash vine borers away. The covers will need to be removed for pollinators, eventually. This will not only give you a head start over pests, but protect your plants from strong heat and frost.
Adding parasitic wasps to your garden prior to the vine borer’s egg stage can be helpful, as these wasps are the borers’ natural enemy.

Thank you for demonstrating, an old-fashioned, common sense, hands on approach, other channels, which will rename nameless, were advising me to either start a whole nother bed of squash or give my plants weekly injections of BT with a hypodermic needle, SMH. I am doing this way thanks.

You may have another one on that same stem right under the one you removed usually when I see my stems getting light colored and fat there’s one in there before the leaves die. You know they are in there because of the way the stem looks… I hate those things but the chickens love them Lol

[@BeauteeInTheGarden]

Yes, I do have to remove that one or he will take the plant over! I bet great for the chickens! 😂Thank you for watching! Happy Gardening!❤️🌱
