I use BT for squash (zucchini, butternut and pumpkkins) only, here in SE VA with horrible squash bug pressure and I mix and inject my seedling stems. It works. I may soray once later for good measure. Also, the fruit I grow will ripen off vine, so I wait till peak bug pressure is past and dont plant pumpkins or butternut till July 4th. Great success here. 2 yrs ago, 37 cherokee tan pumpkins on one plant ( seems anything cherokee has amazing resistence) and they stored for over a year when I finally froze and dehydrated/powdered them.

I've found pyrethrin, spinosad and sulfur to all be effective. The challenge with pyrethrin is it fades very quickly, so you need to repeat it several times. Spinosad can stay active for a couple weeks dried on leaves if you get no rain, so in rainless conditions, spinosad can be more effective since it'll continue to kill new populations of mites. I've personally found sulfur dust to be the best, since it can sit on the leaves and it's very harmful to mites.

The nematodes I suspect are what finally got the beetles under control for us. When I was a teenager I remember that at a certain time on early summer they'd always be swarms of them completely defoliating all their preferred plants and destroying anything resembling a fruit, like clockwork. They were big, and there were so many we used to lie on the trampoline listing to the klangs of them crashing into the side of the broken down van parked by the garden One year though, when I was in college or thereabouts, I suddenly realized that that summer, and for several years going, the annual swarm hadn't taken place. And I noticed that while there were still some big ones, many of the beetles I did see were much smaller in size. I think the nematodes, or some other biological control, finally reached our farm via natural spread.

Neem is money, you buy bulk from Ahimsa, then mix it with dish soap and silica to make it wettable. Azadiractin is the active ingredient, it messes with ALL bugs ability to produce hormones, and thus reproduce. Neem is great, but it has a delayed result till the bug's next reproduction cycle.

I'm currently trying diatomaceous earth, it's a powder you can even get at the hardware store in the garden section. The powder irritated bugs like aphids and kills them, but is completely safe for humans and animals.

I use pyrethrin for ants,mites and aphids,really works for bad infestations. Of course the best thing is to chop and discard the infested foliage to minimize the damage,especially for aphids. Neem oil is good for prevention so I just use that most often, along with diatomaceous earth,especially for my worm bin. It repels most bad insects but doesn't affect good insects. Sulfur is used in common skin remedies for mites (soaps,ointments) and is safe for the most part. Bonus is if you use it near ericaceous plants like blueberries,it acidifies the soil. I haven't tried it on plants as a foliar spray, but it works well on dogs. I imagine it would work well on roses, cucurbits and solanids.

Hey catrina, trina here. I have been fighting grubs for years. I think I have them mostly under control. first thing I do is use "grub be gone" early spring and late fall. I also have used nematodes, there are special nematodes for grubs and the other things. I also have found it very helpful to prepare my beds just before spring and lay down plastic to heat the soil up. Then when I plant in early spring I put down black fabric and straw, hay and some of my beds have ceder wood chips. I have found this helps prevent the bugs from landing in and laying eggs. Be sure you know when they are due in your area and prepare your beds before they fly. I found the products I mentioned online Amazon. I might add when I first began I had a very bad infestation so I dug down and picked out hundreds of them before I treated. Tedious work but I was amazed of the hundreds I found in each bed. Hope this helps!! from high desert in Southern California.

Also look for the egg clusters on the leaves of the squash plants They are golden in color and you can usually find them in clusters. Just cut the section of leaf off and burn it or throw it away.
