I am surprised and frankly dismayed that Sevin or such heavy duty chemical pesticide was suggested as a control for squash bugs in an otherwise very informative article. I would suggest there are other more natural sprays that an organic grower (backyard gardeners too) can use to effectively deal with squash bugs. (Garlic sprays and also Dr. Bronner's Peppermint & Hemp Castile Soap - for a couple controls - are what we use on our small farm in Nevad, when all else seems to fail.
