well found my first sign of svb dammage and also killed another moth today. I have been pretty diligent at killing moths as well as watching the vines. Well today I found some damge(SAWDUST) . tHis has not affected my plant AG that is on another plant to my knowledge. I cut away all I could find and sure enough found three of the wormy bastards enjoying a feast. So the pumpkin I am currently growing I did not bury the main vine like I did on the other.Should I do it now???.Also I sprayed with A mix of Sevin, Mialathon and Ambush at the begginning of the week. Today I put a light coating over the vine I want to protect. This weekend I will probably kill off the plant I found the svb in as it has no fruit. What Should i BE DOING TO PROTECT THE EXISTING PLANT AS WELL AS AVOID ANY FURTHER DAMAGE IF THERE IS ANY???. mY GARDEN IS ONLY 5 FEET BY 15 FEET WITH THE TWO PLANTS.hELP GUYS MY PUMPKIN IS FINALLY taking off I got almost 5 " since yesterday and have been hit every year. This year Im watching like a hawk I hate that sawdust!!!!!!!!!!HELP PLEASE

Mixing these 3 different contact insectides together really serves no purpose.

Mixing a cotact with a systemic is a good idea.
