squash bugs

Ok, so how do you get rid of those pesky little squash bugs. I hate to use poison. Seven is pretty good.

I just put them in the trash after I squash them!

Grind up the bugs about 6 in a blender with water. Put the water in a sprinkling can and put over the plant and the bugs will die in a week from a fungus that is in their system! Another way is delute plane water with any number of house hold things like epsom salts and a drop of dish detergent add some garlic grind it up or just let set for a day. keep the mixture on hand and spray them and they will be gone! Buy a case of praying mantis eggs to put in the garden! Epsom salts is good most of the time even for snails Epsom Salts aid the plant bt cripple insects! A table spoon per gallon will do the job. Spray twice a week!
