Green and brown stink bugs are generally our major problem. Egg hatch occurs in 5 to 7 days. Adults usually live 40 to 60 days during the summer. A new generation occurs every 5 to 6 weeks during the summer. Control stink bugs when they first appear.
Nymphs are less mobile and easier to control.
If necessary, tank-mix sevin and Endosulfan insecticides at label rates for added control. Check labels for rates, usages, precautions, and crop registration. Extension Entomologist Squash bugs attack all cucurbits or vine crops and have a preference for squashes and pumpkins. They suck sap from leaves, stems, and fruits causing leaves and vines fed upon to wilt rapidly, become blackened, and die. Egg clusters are usually found on the undersides of leaves in the angle formed by the veins.
