Re: squash vine borers

I used Triazicide last year which has the same active ingredient as
Warrior-T but at a diluted amount. Can be purchased at Lowe's without a
pesticide license. I had no problems last year.
The active ingredient in Warrior-T, Scimitar, and Triazicide is
lambda-cyhalothrin and is VERY effective against the squash vine borer. I
had just as much luck with Ortho's Bug-B-Gone with Esvenvalerate as well as
Beth and Glenn has said.  Don
