Directions for killing squash bugs and their eggs

Answer:

Hi-Yield Lawn, Garden, Pet and Livestock Insect Control would be a great product to use for squash bugs and is one of the few that we carry labeled for use on edibles.  It can be used up to the day of harvest.  Per the product label you will mix 1 ounce in 4 gallons of water and spray the plants to cover 4,000 square feet. Spray at first sign of insects. Wet the plants for thorough and uniform coverage but avoid runoff. Try to cover the underside of leaves and penetrate dense foliage. Treat in late afternoon or evening, when the temperature is cooler and when there is little or no wind.  Be sure to refer to the product label for complete instructions.
