Need help with squash bugs

Thought I'd throw out a subject that we might talk about in the off season.
 Squash bugs.  They are my nemesis.  Made me pull all my plants this past
year in total disgust and frustration.  I used all those chemicals from
Lowe's & Home Depot.  these bugs laugh at them.  They drink ortho max like
its water.  I'm wondering if any one knows of the "good stuff".  Chemicals
that you need a license to get.  I really need to annihilate them.  I'm in
the Mid-South, just outside Memphis TN.  Maybe I should fence in the garden
and let 4 or 5 chickens loose in there!  Do they eat them?

Thanks so much,
Brian T.
