Back from the local squash farm.
This is what he said about the squash beetle control.
Use two pyrethrin products and rotate them, one on one use, the next use the other.
He sprays, dusts, and fogs (he has 5 acres of squash)
He said to start EARLY July and don't stop, every 5 days you treat.
Once you see adults you have a lost cause.
If you find larvae, you are almost lost.
You can't treat the adults.
He said be relentless.

Other than the weird weather, I can't figure why the vines didn't make female flowers until late August, and the deer ate a lot of the leaves. I'm blaming it on the deer. Still, it's the first time I haven't had b-nut to share with the neighbors.
