it helps to keep your vines buried at the leaf nodes. Try Bayer Tree and Shrub (imidacloprid) for the eggs you miss. Greg

I've seen an unusual amount of SVB eggs recently as well. We're spraying about every 7-10 days...Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Found about 15 total on my trap plants (hubbard squash) but none on my AGs. Thats the bifenthrin doing its job. They don't even want to lay eggs.

I live in southern mn.and I have yet to see a svb.I have been using Bayer Complete insect kill soil and turf.I only use on my AG.I sprayed the whole patch early on and have been alternating between Sevin,Ortho max Lawn and garden and the bayer.I have more problems with spider mites than anything else.

I'm seeing an unusual high number of squash bugs and eggs but below average Squash Vine Borers. Are you guys sure that you're seeing SVB eggs or Squash Bug eggs? Either way, not good....

I uploaded some pictures of the eggs I am seeing in my garden. Are these SVB or squash bug eggs?

Squash Bug eggs for sure. I hate Suqash Bugs.
