:?: How in the world do you get rid of them? I've only been able toget rid of them by pulling up and disposing of the plants. This is drastic but there are usually hundreds of them on one plant, alone. Any help would be appreciated as I am planning on planting squash again this spring and was informed that the bugs are on all squash plants here in New Mexico!

I made the post today about the orange and black bugs and later I went out and put diatamateous earth on all the plant with them, and this evening they are gone. These bugs look like the kind that get on the squash also. Hope this worked, will know tomorrow.

Years ago, my grandfather told me to plant radishes around my squash and zucchini plants. I have never seen squash bugs again.
