I placed plastic bowls between each plant, in them I put some water and a little squirt of dish soap. The next day each bowl had a squash bug or bugs. I changed the water every other day. I made up a quart of squeezed garlic, with cayenne pepper, Tbsp, maybe, just dumped it in, and a squeeze of dish soap. Poured that around the stem every other day. Bug are essentially gone. Found a couple small deposits of eggs, but not the dozens that would be here by now. I'm checking for eggs every other day. The adult bugs are dead in the soap water. But our season is just getting going. I see below someone used Neem oil and I'm going to add that.
