Thanks to all who responded to this thread and my previous .
Split the stems and debugged the two that are still alive . I'm
trying to re-root one that was in really bad but still living
condition . I'll be watching closely the next few weeks , though as
far as I can tell I got 'em all . I checked for eggs and saw none of
either plant . This is the first time growing zukes for me , and the
only reason I'm growing them is for stir-fry because that's the only
way I like 'em . Two plants , if productive , should supply more
than we can eat ... oh , and the cants are clean , so far . Looks
like I won't be needing chemicals yet , but the info I found with a
web search says Sevin will be the "least-bad" choice should I deem
it necessary . Hopefully it won't come to that .

That problem is SO EASY to solve without chemicals. Just keep the
lower stem area dusted with diatomaceous earth. The microscopic
shards cut the interlopers to shreds.
