I went chemical on the cukes and squashbugs arsses yesterday evening late when the heat went way down to 98 degrees and this was thee outcome on all the leaves in all the patches. I chated with a rep from the manufacturer of Spectracide Termite and Carpenter ant Killer concentrate yesterday and threw the question of whether their product possibly hurting my Kin Plants and after a couple phone calls on their part he came back with a go on useing it on the kins. He was very pumped up and enthusiastic about helping out with this problem of cukes and squashbugs and the thought of growing such large pumpkins. (2 Tabl Spns/ 1 Gal of water. I bought a 30 gal barrel of the stuff at an auction 5 yrs ago unopened for 25 bucks. This mornin it looks like Bug atrocity out there..WHAAAAHHAAAAA!!!!! "Nothin like the smell of Pesticides in the mornin", lol. Of course evrything is glowing and I can't remember my name lol. It also killed squash bugs and they said it will kill any eggs left by the cukes or squashers. We'll see and so far the plants look great and they all put on 5"-6" since yesterday evening and last night. Still useing neem oil regularly. There was no damage from the bugs just tired of not seeing the plants for all the flying insects. Daughter has been restricted from the patches of a 350 yard parimeter, lol for now. This is the same stuff the commercial sprayers use on the inside of your house but she's still restricted from walking thru the patches for now..better safe.
