Garden Tip: Do you have Squash Bugs?

By: RE/MAX Complete


Do you love squash?  But hate Squash Bugs?   

Every year we have battled the problem of squash bugs killing out our zucchini plants, pumpkins and anything else it wants to invade.    Last year we had such a grasshopper problem, that I went on the lookout for something to get rid of the grasshoppers and this is what was purchased:



Its really inexpensive, less than $3.00 a can.  It's called Hi-Yield Kill A Bug II Dust and it killed all the squash bugs!  Eggs to Adults.


Do you know what to look for when looking for Squash bugs on your plants?   Here are a few pictures of different stages of the squash bugs, so you can see if your plants are

under attack!

HAPPY SQUASH BUG HUNTING!
