Two serious pests of squash plants are on the prowl in vegetable gardens in our area. Squash bugs and squash vine borer frequently attack summer squash, zucchini, pumpkins and winter squash, often causing plant death.
Both of these pests are difficult to control once damage shows up. Adults of these pests are laying eggs, making now the critical time to act to prevent them from damaging your squash crop.
