I do something I have never seen mentioned as a way to kill squash bugs. I spray the plants and ground thoroughly. Then I wait a couple of minutes. The squash bugs begin climbing to the top of the leaves--I assume to get dry. Wearing gloves I simply squash the bugs and lay them out for a "body count." By the time I get to one end of the plants, more bugs have climbed to the top of the other end. I repeat going down the row until there are no more bugs. If I have time, I soak the ground and plants again just to make sure. It worked until I missed a day, then the plants suffered.
