 We need help in how to kill squash bugs! (I know you can squash them),
 but what can you spray or dust on them to kill them. Any help from 
 anyone, we would be so grateful. Hope you can send us an answer to our
 BIG problem. Robert

Robert,
    Squash bugs are pretty tough to kill. If you lay a 3 foot piece of plywood
on the ground near the plant, they love to hide under it. Flip up the board
and scoop them into a can of kerosene or whatever. It ruins their whole day. I
use Sevin and Methoxychlor and neither is marvelous at killing the adults.
I'll check around and see what is best.
