I had never even seen a squash bug in my backyard garden until this year when I saw a huge infestation on each of my 3 squash plants. After harvesting the last few zucchini, I dosed each plant with diatomaceous earth and turned each plant over and buried them all. No sign of any bugs since then. Will doing this kill them and deter them from coming back next spring?
