Hey all, As the title suggests, I got a pest problem. I’ve tried diatomaceous Earth and spinosad spray, neither of which seem to work. I’m pretty sure they’ve killed my crop for this year. I’m wondering what you all do. I’m trying to avoid truly nasty pesticides, and I honestly don’t have the drive to physically remove them, so for me, those two options are right out. I’m willing to keep trying spinosad, I think it’s mostly that it rains a day or two later, and it’s gone by the time the next batch of eggs hatch. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I’ll probably be trying praying mantis and lady bug eggs and planting nasturtium as a companion plant. I’ll also pick up some neem oil if those fail. If nothing else works, a few years without squash for me.
