Help, I want to stay as organic/green as possible. I have squash bugs on my zucchini and have lost three plants so far, like any family needs more than one, I have used MJ's onion and garlic remidy but last night, those nasty looking things were back, with babies to boot! Does anyone have any home remedy that works? I want to give something else a try b4 using the store bought stuff.

Hello all, I am eating crow. I sprayed for those bugs a second time and went to check last night and guess, what no bugs on any of the plants. Maybe it just takes a few 'meet and greets'to get rid of them with onions/garlic!

I like my crow, well done!

Kim- That's great! :D I am glad it worked for you! Isn't it great when the natural stuff works just as well as the store bought stuff and no nasty chemicals?
