try using pyrethrum, you can get it I think at either Low's or Menards. I am sure that you can find it on line to at any organic garden supply store. Pyrethrum is a derivative of chrysanthemums, and in the pyrethrum for is a nerve agent against the squash bug and kills it within minutes of contact, also works on the nymphs.
If you find that you have a bad infestation and can not keep up with the egg search you can buy nematodes, I am not sure o which one but you spray the leaves especially on the bottom, however this year the squash bugs were laying eggs everywhere even on neighboring plants, so I spray the nematodes everywhere once I start seeing squash bugs, but the nematodes destroy the eggs.
