What do you use to kill Squash Bugs? I have a small plant so I have just been killing them daily, but I want to find a good insecticide.

Squash Bugs are very tough. Licensed applicators can reach for Furadan or Asana if old big nasty honkin' guns are desired.

Capture (active ingredient Bifenthrin) is the safest thing that works & is actually labeled for Cucurbits.

Warrior, however popular, isn't really labeled for Stink Bugs on Pumpkins or Squash. Weird.

The only things I can think of that would work that you can purchase without a license are Talstar-One or Spectracide's Triazicide. Niether of these are labeled either. But they'll both get the job done.
