First day of summer, of course it has to be the first day of something else! I think the whole neighborhood heard me yelling at it. Anyway, yelling doesn't scare away squash bugs (imagine!) so what do I do next?

This was my major problem last year!

Get a good contact insecticide and start spraying...

if you get a concentrate mix extremely well, follow instructions carefully and don't spray during the sunny hours.
