RE: Question about bugs??
Nematodes can be bought from gardens alive, they also sell the syringes to
inject the nematodes into the vines, they are applied to the soil using a
garden sprayer.
I have been using them for years and they do cut down on grub populations,
although the jury is still out on SVB's?
As for Squash bugs aka stink bugs they are able to fly but seldom do? try
smashing them and you see their wings they're kind of reddish also you'll
find out why they'll called stinkbugs!! they smell like vinegar.

Nematodes are a phylum of roundworms (phlum nematoda) They are mostly
parasitic and microscopic. Some that live in humans are large. An answer
to
where you can get some would be that they are probably all ready in your
soil. I don't know how else you could get them since they are so small.
