I hate to rain on your parade, but my solution is: plant more squash. I've
never had success controlling borers.

One thing that squeezes out a few more weeks from my squash is to observe
the stems closely for the bores (and yellow worm poo). Slice the stem
parallel to the xylem (parallel to the stem) and peel the stem open. Dig
out the offending borer. Don't cut across the xylem or you'll sever the
tubes that carry water up the stems to the leaves.

Hope this helps a bit. I share in your frustration about borers...

What are you guys doing for Squash Vine Borers? Sevin dust and the

Thanks. I'll try that as soon as I see the little shitz.........
