Granny's gone and done it again

Pert, how do you kill the little buggers? I gave up on squash bc of them. Granny they are shaped like a shield and there will be a bunch of em.
They're hard to beat. I used soapy water which helped some. Then I sprinkled 7 dust on the ground around the stems. They say if you wait until later in the year to plant the bugs will have given up and moved on. Apparently they emerge from wherever expecting a feast. If it's not there they move out. Never tried that method.
 
OMG so Spud fell asleep with his head hanging over the the small wood border and now has his nose planted in a squashed/flattened puppy tootsie roll. Guess he is either REALLY tired or his sense of smell is not so good yet.
 
that was years ago BUT I will keep a look out for any seeds up here.
Thanks! I lived in MT when I had them before and haven't seen them since, so maybe it's a regional thing. Appreciate it!
