With 2 acres of field pumpkins and winter squash ( separate from my giants ),sprayed Warrier T a week or so ago and took care of all cuke beetles, squash bugs, etc. but still swatting way too many SVB moths, gonna have to up the dosage I think . Best day (or worse) was Wed, 28 of them (male & female) 1 or 2 in the giants all others in the field pumpkins & winter squash. Total body count since June 30th is 80 !!! My wife can spot one on a leaf 30 feet away now, 35 if they are mating. LOL, Can anyone beat that? P.S. If anyone has any doubts I saved the bodies in a plastic box. Al

WE MADE IT ! 104 SVB moths in 16 days. I think I'm getting the upper hand now, getting hard to find any during "THE HUNT"
